Senior police officers are learnt to have allegedly stopped their junior colleagues, who had been selected to perform Hajj under an official scheme, from proceeding to Saudi Arabia to make way for their favourites, The Express Tribune has learnt.
A source said 25 police officials from the capital police had been nominated for pilgrimage following a draw. However, top officials of the police force have blocked them from going to Saudi Arabia without giving any reason.
The source also said the religious affairs ministry had already issued letters authorising their travel and they subsequently joined the Hajj Complex for training. However, police bosses intervened and added names of their own liking to the list of nominees.
