Doctor’s house burgled

Published August 2, 2014

ISLAMABAD: The house of a doctor in the Sihala police training college was burgled.

Dr Javed Ahmed Qazi and his family had gone to Gujar Khan on July 26. When they returned the next day, they found the locks of the house broken and all valuables missing.

The police initially seemed reluctant to register an FIR but had to give in after Dr Qazi approached his seniors.

The FIR stated the thieves decamped with valuables worth Rs1 million after breaking into the house.

The house of the doctor working in the police department is located near the residence of the police college commandant.

In the FIR, Dr Qazi said theft was common in the housing colony and without naming anybody he blamed the police personnel for the crime.

“Many times the police staff and their offspring have been arrested for theft,” Dr Qzai stated. “But the administration has failed to come up with a long-term solution to the problem.”

Meanwhile, in a letter to the chief minister Punjab and the IGP, Dr Qazi demanded strict action against the administration of the police college for failing to control the crime on the college premises.
