Moreover, Rawalpindi RPO Wasaal Fakhar Sultan Raja and Rawalpindi CPO Afzal Ahmed Kosar among other police officers had stepped down from their positions a few days earlier.

SSP Investigation Amir Abdullah Niazi will perform the duties of CPO Rawalpindi until a new one is appointed. SSP Operation Muhammad bin Ashraf, who was part of the Interior Ministry during the Chaudhry Nisar-era, has now been appointed as the new chief traffic officer.
