Before going on leave in 2011, Hamid was serving as chief of the CTD’s anti-extremists cell. He is the son of slain KESC managing director Shahid Hamid, who, along with his driver and guard, was killed near his official residence in Clifton, minutes after he left for office on the morning of July 5, 1997, by some gunmen.
Hamid is also an acclaimed novelist who has written two books.
