Taking notice of complaints against officials of Nowshera and Peshawar traffic police, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa IGP Nasir Khan Durrani ordered their suspension and the initiation of departmental proceedings, read an official handout.
The orders were issued on October 30, 2014 after a preliminary report was submitted to the IGP by the respective enquiry committees.
In the first case, the IGP received a complaint from a resident of Nizampur, Nowshera. The complainant alleged the SHO and Muharrar of Nizampur police station deliberately delayed the registration of an FIR against his brother’s murder and showed a lack of interest in the investigation.
The provincial police chief suspended the officials based on a report filed by additional IG investigations and ordered the initiation of a departmental enquiry.
In the second case, the IGP received an anonymous complaint against Peshawar traffic police officials, who were accused of corrupt practices.
Based on the complaint, a secret probe was conducted and Durrani subsequently suspended ASI Ajmal Khan, ASI Malang Jan, SI Noorul Qamar and SI Kifayat Khan. A departmental enquiry was also initiated against the officials.
The handout stated that the K-P Police has embarked on a strict and stringent regime of internal accountability against officers and officials.
