Inspector in trouble for ‘uncovering scam’

Inspector stopped from attending training course for unearthing financial mismanagements of college mess.

RAWALPINDI:

A police inspector is seeking high court’s help after he was stopped from attending a departmental training course at Sihala Police College.

Nasir Abbas, who serves as an inspector in the legal department of Punjab police, on Wednesday filed a petition in the Lahore High Court Rawalpindi Bench challenging the order of the commandant of Sihala College about the withdrawal of his name from a probationer class course.

According to the petition, the inspector claimed he had been penalised for unearthing financial mismanagement in the process of making purchases for the college mess.

The college administration on the other hand had stated that the inspector was found guilty of spreading rumours about terrorist attacks on the college and the inadequate security measures in the training institution of the police.

The Rawalpindi bench of the LHC may take up the petition for hearing some time next week.
