Former inspector general of the Islamabad Police Kaleem Imam told The Express Tribune that Sipra was great loss of the country.
Imam, who was a mid-career officer when Sipra retired, remembered
the late police officer as “upright and a man of honesty and integrity. People like Sipra will always be remembered.”
