Every time, the diplomats reportedly exchanged harsh words with our police officials and refused to comply with law. <br/>A few weeks back, a Pakistani student was given a bad beating by an American diplomat inside the Diplomatic Enclave. The poor student had dared to let his vehicle passed close to a US national while he was jogging alongside the road. In another incident, a mid-career American diplomat abused a senior police official of Secretariat Police Station who was performing his duties at Diplomatic Enclave. Adding insult to injury, a Pakistani citizen was reportedly thrashed, a few days back, by two American diplomats at Super market who had dared to park his car near the vehicle of Americans. Just recently, four American diplomats were apprehended and were kept in police custody for a few hours on the charges of keeping illegal heavy weaponry with them before the American Embassy interfered and set them free. <br/> </p> <div class="clr"></div> <div class="published-date">This news was published in print paper.
