SHO held for helping suspect escape

The district police arrested SHO Jamshoro police station Abdul Raheem Gopang and police station’s Munshi Gulab Khoso under charges of conniving in the escape of a car lifter rounded up by the Rapid Response Force (RRF).

Both the cops were also nominated in an FIR registered on the state’s complaint by ASI Ali Bux Chandio on Monday.A police official informed that the action was taken after Inspector General Sindh Police Ghulam Nabi Memon took notice of the alleged conspiracy by Gopang and Khoso, who allegedly took bribes from the car lifter to let him escape.

According to the FIR, a vehicle bearing registration number AQZ-038 was stolen from Karachi recently.

The complainant added that the police caught the car and the driver, later identified as the car lifter Fida Hussain Khoso, on the toll plaza of M9 Motorway.

Chandio stated that the RRF handed over the apprehended suspect and the impounded car to SHO Gopang. He added that after the handover the RRF cops returned to the police station and to their utter dismay they could not find the suspect in the police station though the car remained in the SHO’s custody.
