A Station House Officer (SHO) of Lahore Police has been found guilty of protecting a drug dealer. Police had arrested a drug dealer identified as Imran alias Mani at night on January 17. Former SHO Tariq Perviaz delayed not only registration of FIR but also misinformed senior police officers. The inordinate delay benefitted the suspect in securing bail. An inquiry was conducted against SHO in which he was found guilty said Lahore Police spokesperson.
