Jamali, a grade-21 officer, had been appointed as acting IGP on July 7 this year after the then Sindh police chief Iqbal Mehmood was relieved of his duties after only a three-month stint.
Mehmood had left the charge of the IG Sindh of his own volition. There was reportedly a rift between the former IG and some officials of the Sindh government regarding the procurement of armoured personnel carriers (APCs).
Jamali, one of the most senior officers of the department, has held various posts in the past, including that of additional IG Sindh. Before he was made acting IG Sindh, he served as the Anti-Corruption chairman.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif approved Jamali’s appointment but the question remains whether Jamali will be a part of the commission and will he decide to go ahead with the controversial purchase of overhauled APCs.

@Hasan:
Must be related to the ex PM Jamali who had to rig his way into parliament!
@ Hasan The guy is IG Sindh. not IG Karachi. It doesn't matter whoever is appointed to the job as long as they are honest. Please change your discriminatory MQM mentality.
Another Non-Karachiite & a Non-Urdu Sepaking appointed top post. Why can't a Karachiite be appointed to such posts? Just Asking?
"Back in British era, they would bring in outside police to enforce barbarianism on citizens, as they feared local police won't follow instructions or will revolt against injustice"
That trend continues till date? When will Karachi get local policing?
