RAWALPINDI: Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mushtaq Sukhera has directed the regional police officers across the province to increase security following intelligence reports that a vehicle carrying three burqa-clad women along with a well-dressed man on the front seat might be used to kidnap an influential person.

According to the source, the IGP, in his letter to all RPOs, directed deployment of extra police at the exit and entry points and to intercept a vehicle in which three burqa-clad women are seated with a well-dressed man.

The IGP also held a meeting with the regional police officer Rawalpindi Akhtar Omer Hayat Laleka on Wednesday and reviewed the law and order situation in the division – especially with reference to the surge in street crimes in Rawalpindi.
