Taking notice of the incident, Rawalpindi City Police Officer (CPO) Ahsan Younus, who only assumed charge of his office on Monday, suspended two officials and ordered an inquiry into it. However, he did not stop here and paid a surprise visit to Murree Road and met the affected vendor today.
CPO Younus apogised to the vendor on the cruel act of his colleagues and returned the confiscated goods to him in a respectable manner. He also embraced the vendor, who was shocked to see the city’s top police officer in front of him.

Overwhelmed by the kind gesture, poor man can be seen praying for the police officer in a video shared by the Rawalpindi Police on Twitter.
He said he cannot thank the police officer enough for the kind gesture. He also prayed for policemen who give respect to the downtrodden segment of the society.
