SHO suspended over negligence

City Police Officer (CPO) Omar Saeed Malik suspended Station House Officer (SHO) Sargodha Road over charges of negligence when a motorcyclist was wounded by a kite string within his jurisdiction.

A police spokesman said on Saturday that Salman was riding his bike when the string from a stray kite got tangled over his neck and severely injured him.

Rescue-1122 immediately shifted him to Allied Hospital, where he was being provided intensive care treatment.

Taking serious notice of the incident, CPO Malik immediately suspended SHO Sargodha Road Hammad Yousuf over charges of negligence, as he failed to control kite-flying in his jurisdiction, which threatened the safety of motorcyclists.

The CPO directed the SHO to report Police Line and directed SSP (Operations) Muhammad to probe the matter.
