Lahore police have claimed a 60% reduction in serious crimes this year, but most citizens have rejected the claim, saying incidents of theft and robbery are still widespread across the city.
While some residents expressed satisfaction over the police’s performance, many were unconvinced and continued to report increasing street crimes.
Alarmingly, a few citizens even alleged that some police personnel are directly involved in criminal activities.
The police maintain that strict measures and improved patrolling have led to significant drop in crime rates.
However, the majority of the public disagrees, insisting that the ground reality does not reflect the police’s claims.
