'Kid-touching acting': Why was a Pakistani police officer trolled on a podcast?

News Topical, Digital Desk : A Pakistani police officer is being trolled online after a video went viral showing her abruptly leaving a podcast to investigate a murder case. Lahore's Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shahrabano Naqvi was seen taking a phone call mid-interview and returned an hour later after finishing a case. "I'm getting a call," she said as she answered the phone during the podcast. "Okay, it's the SHO calling."

"There's been a murder, I'll be back soon."

On the call, she says, "Yes, Khurram? Yes? Where? That man was caught? Great. Wait, I'm coming." Turning to the podcaster, she adds, “There's been a murder, I'll be right back.”

When Naqvi returned an hour later, the podcaster asked about the emergency. She replied, "Murder," and explained that it had occurred in Defence Phase A, K Block. She explained that the accused and the victim were friends and that the crime was allegedly planned over a monetary dispute.
