GUJRANWALA, Dec 11: The staff of Eminabad police station, Gujranwala, has been dismissed for breach of duty on the directions of Punjab governor Lt-Gen Khalid Maqbool (retired).

SHO Zulfiqar Ali has been compulsory retired for negligence in duty while ASI Muhammad Akram has been dismissed from service for not registering the abduction case. ASI Zulfiqar Ali and Head Constable Siffat Husain have been dismissed for detaining a citizen illegally and for not maintaining police station record, respectively.

Constables Muhammad Khalid and Saifullah have been forfeited in two years approved services. Sub-Inspector Muhammad Riaz has been directed to record his statement before Kamoky sub-divisional police officer.

The SDPO will present reports of an inquiry to the Punjab Inspector General of Police within a fortnight.
