Fraud: SHO accused of inaction

LAHORE:

An additional district and sessions judge on Tuesday sought comments from the Ichhra SHO on a petition filed by a man seeking a case against another man for defrauding him.

Petitioner Syedullah told the court he had given Rs534,000 to Foqi Khan who had said he would double the amount in three months. “When I had gone to Khan after three months he sought another 15 days for payment. He had later pulled a gun at me and warned me against demanding the money.”

Syedullah said the SHO had refused to take any action against Khan and requested the court to direct the police to register an FIR against Khan.
