KARACHI:

Sindh Inspector General (IG) of Police Ghulam Nabi Memon has reportedly formed a committee to investigate allegations of misuse of authority against Tando Allahyar Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Farooq Bajrani.

The committee includes Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Additional IG Imran Yaqoob Minhas, Licence and Traffic DIG Tanveer Alam Odho and Welfare ADIG Faisal Abdullah Chachar.

The committee will reportedly investigate allegations against Bajrani of patronising organized crime including drug peddlers and those dealing in banned products like gutka.

A team led by Hyderabad DIG Pir Muhammad Shah had raided a gutka factory in Tando Allahyar last month. They had seized contraband worth millions and arrested six people.

Following the raid, the Tando Allahyar SSP was removed from his post. The committee will investigate the SSP's links to criminals and those dealing in gutkas and will submit a report to the IG.

The Hyderabad DIG had led another raid, at a factory in Tando Mohammad Khan last month, after which Tando Mohammad Khan SSP Abdullah Memon was removed from the post and an investigation was initiated against him.

Mohammad Ali Sheikh | 1 year ago | Reply The open sale of ghutka tharra locally made alcohol is being openly sold in district Matiari too since Mr. Kaleem Malik s posting in the district as SSP. Several complaints have been made to DIGP Hyd and the IGP about the open sale of Ghutkas and other banned items but no action has so far taken. Interestingly the SHOs who were removed on these charges were re-posted by the SSP. This is for the information and necessary action against the concerned officials.
