Police have initiated criminal proceedings against two station house officers (SHOs) within their respective jurisdictions for corruption. The action follows an inquiry ordered by DIG Operations Faisal Kamran after receiving complaints against the officers.
DIG Kamran said both officers were found guilty of misusing their authority and engaging in corrupt practices. SHO Defence A, Muhammad Sajjad, has been booked at his own police station after an inquiry conducted by SSP Operations found him guilty of taking a Rs. 1.7 million bribe from narcotics suspects in exchange for their release.
The former SHO is now facing charges under Section 155-C of the Police Order, 2002.
Similarly, SHO Faisal Town, Sub-Inspector Salman Akbar, and his subordinate, Constable Maqbool Shakir, have also been booked under the same section.
An internal investigation revealed their involvement in corruption, leading to a formal case being registered against them.
