An additional district and sessions judge on Tuesday sought comments from the Gulberg station house officer by November 20 on a petition against the sports director general, a senior hockey coach, the administration assistant director, the Sports Board Hockey Stadium superintendent and six others for allegedly stealing some items from the petitioner’s office.

The judge had sought comments from the SHO at the previous hearing but he had not appeared in court nor submitted a comment.

Petitioner Azra Perveen, the sports and coaching deputy director, said she arrived at her office on October 30 and found a man sitting in her office. He said that the office had been allotted to him by Sports DG Usman Anwar and Deputy Director Walayat Shah.

She said that she had found out that two laptops, a mobile phone, five prize bonds of Rs40,000 each, four prize bonds of Rs750 each, the documents of her car and other office documents were missing.

She said Anwar, Senior Hockey Coach Amir Jalil, Admin Assistant Director Nadeem Anjum, Hockey Stadium Superintendent Zahoor Ahmed and six others had stolen the documents and valuables.

She said Anwar had illegally transferred her.

Perveen said she had requested the Gulberg SHO to file a complaint but he refused to do so. She asked the court to direct the SHO to register a case against the suspects.
