Viral footage circulating online shows a woman and her associates assaulting a traffic official after a motorcycle was fined on Sargodha Road, a private media outlet reported.
According to authorities, a traffic officer issued a challan to a motorcyclist for riding without a helmet. The rider reportedly left the scene without paying the fine but later returned on a rickshaw accompanied by a woman.
The video shows the woman slapping traffic official Safdar and hurling verbal abuse, police said.
Despite the confrontation, the footage shows the officer and his colleagues remaining composed and refraining from retaliating.
District Police Officer (DPO) Dr Naveed Atif has directed SP Investigation to carry out a comprehensive inquiry into the incident.
Responding to the allegations, the woman claimed the officer struck her first and said she did not react initially. She also alleged that her son was subjected to violence during the altercation and that her mobile phone was damaged.
In a separate incident in Karachi, a traffic police officer was assaulted in Saddar by members of a stone vendor group, police said. One suspect has been arrested, while another remains at large.

The officer was reportedly pushed to the ground and beaten in public. Police said a case has been registered at Saddar police station and efforts are underway to arrest the remaining suspect.
