Pakistan Cop Shehrbano Naqvi Trolled for "Staged" Podcast Moment

Desk Correspondent , Islamabad - Pakistani police officer Syeda Shehrbano Naqvi has found herself at the center of a social media storm after a clip from her recent podcast appearance went viral for all the wrong reasons. During the recording, the officer received a phone call regarding a high-profile murder case and began issuing immediate orders to her subordinates while the cameras rolled. While the moment was likely intended to showcase her dedication and efficiency, netizens were quick to point out that the timing seemed too convenient to be real, leading to widespread accusations that the scene was "staged" for publicity.


Social media platforms have been flooded with memes and sarcastic comments comparing her rapid response to fictional detectives. Many users noted that the theatrical nature of the phone call felt more like a television drama than an actual police operation. Under the viral clips, one popular comment read, "Even CID isn't that fast," referring to the famous Indian crime show known for its exaggerated investigative speed. The mockery highlights a growing public skepticism toward officials who use podcasts and social media to curate their professional image.

While some supporters argued that she was simply doing her job regardless of the setting, the majority of the online discourse remained critical of the performance. Critics have accused the officer of focusing more on "PR stunts" and digital fame than on genuine police work. Reflecting the general sentiment of the "trolling," a digital creator remarked, "In an era of influencers, even the police seem to be auditioning for a lead role in a thriller." As the debate continues, the incident serves as a cautionary tale for public officials on the fine line between transparency and perceived self-promotion in the age of viral content.
