MIANWALI, Aug 31: DPO Dr Shakeel Ahmed Mirza has transferred Paikhel SHO to Police Lines and suspended an ASI and a constable for instituting a fake FIR against an addict.

ASI Dervaish Khan had recovered eight gram hashish from addict Chiragh Iqbal of Swance, but he was booked in a weapon case. The constable arranged a 30-bore pistol which was shown to have been retrieved from the accused. The parents of the addict informed the DPO about it who visited the Paikhel police station and met the accused. The ASI became jittery and registered another case of narcotic against the addict. The Musakhel DSP was deputed to probe the matter who found both the ASI and the constable guilty of charges.

In another incident, the DPO suspended the Kundian SHO for humiliating, abusing and illegally detaining a journalist.

Rana Arif Bashir, correspondent of a daily, used to highlight the poor performance of the local police. Falling into a rage, Kundian SHO Khizar Hayat arrested the journalist and declared him a proclaimed offender. A delegation of Mianwali Press club, headed by Chairman Rana Amjad Iqbal, Secretary Abdur Rashid and other senior members, met the DPO and apprised him of the matter. The DPO again directed the Musakhel DSP to inquire into the matter who held responsible the SHO for abusing his powers.
