CM Punjab sent a letter to the Chief Secretary, recommending the Federal Government to convert the status of the eight police officers to Officer on Special Duty (OSD) and launch a departmental inquiry.
Earlier a request in this regard was sent to the provincial government to write to the federal government to initiate an inquiry into the matter.
'Show cause’ notices were served on the officers involved but they failed to come up with satisfactory answers. Police Headquarters Public Relations Director Nabeela Ghazanfar said that the officers were summoned by the Inspector General but they did not have an appropriate answer.
The letter had stated that the officers have violated service rules, relevant laws and the Constitution of Pakistan.
The eight are accused of misconduct including two Deputy Inspector Generals and six Senior Superintendents of Police (SSP).

Good for Shahbaz Sharif. When our people start following rules and proper protocol then they will develop. People in Pakistan all think they are above the law- from the common man to the politician to the general. We we all realise we have to equally follow laws and regulations, only then will we develop. That's why we are still ahead of the Arab states where only money and influence matters.
It's against the service rules.They cannot accept any invitation from a foreign mission unless it is approved by their Head of Department,in this case,Inspector General Of Police,Punjab.I am sure they knew about those rules but still opted to attend that function.Prov. Govt cannot take action against Federal employees so they have passed it on to Islamabad.Now it's a damn if you do and damn if you dont situation.Obviously The Federal Govt will let them go after a mild reprimand and that would be another chance for those who are at the helm in Punjab to score some political points.
An example should be set!
We know from wikileaks that Americans are getting to micro and are now in Recommending promotions in the Pak army.
This development must be arrested! An example must be made of these police officers.
And all the government functionaries who attend Iftars at the Saudi and UAE embassy, the largest source of terrorist financing and indoctrination is okay?
@ muhammad saifullah khalid (assuming theres a typo in the last line and you meant hang such officers) Take it easy and let go of your extremist thoughts and suggestions. All they did was attend an iftar. You should see what the politicians of this country eat and how they party. Regardless people vote for them as if they were saints.
Great..
Well Done Shahbaz Sharif!
Khadim e Aala Zindabad..
worst should be the treatment to them. so that no one else ever think to betray Pakistan.
These sick-head police offers enjoy parties and dinners while the citizens are robbed and killed.
I would suggest hand such officers.

Whats the big deal, all they are doing to arrange for their kids to go to colleges in the USA, in return they will look the other way when Americans that includes the CIA officials to do what ever they want to do in the country.Lets not forget it is a third world country and treated as such by even countries Denmark and other pipsqueak countries.when the top is tainted with corruption, then, don't expect the Pakistani Police to keep them-self clean and do the things for the tax payers.
