Karachi Police Releases List of 110 Maids with Criminal Records

In an era where urban households increasingly rely on domestic workers for daily chores, security concerns regarding hiring unverified help continue to rise. Reports of theft, fraud, and even violent crimes involving household staff have put Karachi residents on high alert. With many families entrusting their homes and children to domestic workers, the risk of hiring individuals with questionable backgrounds has become a growing concern.

Addressing this issue head-on, Karachi police have released a list of 110 maids with criminal records in District South, urging residents to exercise caution when hiring domestic help. The list, compiled after a thorough investigation, includes individuals involved in theft, burglary, and other offenses. Authorities have advised homeowners to conduct proper background checks before employing house staff, emphasizing the importance of verifying credentials through legal channels.

The move comes in response to a surge in complaints regarding domestic workers engaged in unlawful activities. Many cases have surfaced where unsuspecting homeowners fell victim to well-planned robberies, orchestrated by maids with prior criminal histories. The police have also identified instances where domestic staff acted as informants for criminal networks, putting families at greater risk.

To mitigate the threat, law enforcement officials have urged residents to register their domestic workers with the police and verify their identification through NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority). Additionally, residents are encouraged to use reputable hiring agencies that conduct proper vetting and background screening.
