ISLAMABAD: The house of a police doctor situated inside Sihala police training college has been burgled.

Dr Javed Ahmed Qazi and his family had gone to Gujar Khan on the evening of Saturday July 26 and returned the next day to find locks broken and all valuables missing.

To avoid bad name to the institution, police had been reluctant to register an FIR but had to give in after Dr Qazi approached his seniors.

The FIR, lodged with Sihala police by Dr Qazi, said the thieves decamped with valuables worth Rs1 million after breaking into the house.

Incidentally, the house of the police doctor is next door neighbour of the police college commandant.

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

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

Meanwhile, in a letter to the CM Punjab, IG police Punjab and IG police Islamabad Dr Qazi demanded strict action against the administration of police college Sihala for failing to control the crime on the college premises.
