The Sindh police department has selected Maneesha as the first female Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in Karachi’s Lyari Town, according to news reports.
Maneesha, the first female DSP of the Sindh police, today made many stops in Lyari Town after being appointed. DSP Maneesha interacted with female students, instructors, and staff at Lyari. Additionally, she gave lectures on the value of education and the place of women in society.
Maneesha, 26, a member of the Hindu community, has become DSP in the Sindh police after completing the test administered by the Sindh Public Service Commission. She had to put forth a lot of effort; certainly more than others. According to Maneesha, she would sometimes feel like the day would pass and she had done nothing but study.
Maneesha is eager to begin her DSP training and join the police department. She is also interested in poetry. She was ranked 16th out of 152 successful applicants in the Sindh Public Service Commission’s results, which were released on April 13.

On July 3, 2022, Police in the nation’s southwest Balochistan Province chose their first female Station House Officer (SHO). Sobia Khanum was named officer in command of the Cantt Police Station in Quetta by Abdul Khaliq Sheikh, the top law enforcement official in the mineral-rich province. IGP Sheikh praised the lady officer’s services and noted that she carried out her responsibilities well.
The development comes months after the nation’s poorest province opened its first women’s police station in an effort to improve access for women to the legal system. Mohsin Hassan Butt, the former Inspector General (IG) of the Balochistan Police, officially opened the first police station for women. Nearly 30 years after Pakistan’s first Muslim female Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, established Pakistan’s first such facility, the police station specifically for women came into being.
In May 2021, Shazia Ishaq, 25, from a rural area in Upper Chitral, became the first female police officer in the Malakand division, after passing the Federal Public Service Commission’s competitive examination. Ms. Ishaq, the daughter of a former junior commissioned officer in the Pakistani Army, graduated in 2018 with a BS in political science from Islamia College University.
She told Dawn that she had wanted to be a police officer since she was a young child, thus the Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) was her top option in the competitive exams. According to Ms. Ishaq, one of the reasons she decided to join the police force was to inspire women and give them the confidence to take on challenging tasks outside of their traditional positions and demonstrate their mettle.
