KARACHI: Sindh Police Inspector General (IG) Ghulam Hyder Jamali on Thursday night transferred Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rao Anwar from Malir, according to a police spokesperson.

The provincial police chief said Rao Anwar “misused” his authority following which he has been transferred from Malir district.

SSP East Peer Mohammad Shah has been given additional charge for the time being, while Rao Anwar has been directed to report to the Central Police Office, the spokesperson added.

The police spokesperson said the IG’s orders came after Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah took serious notice of Rao Anwar’s press conference earlier in the day, in which he leveled serious allegations against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).

The SSP had claimed that the MQM has links with Indian spy agency RAW, and that the party sent workers to India to get them trained by RAW and eventually use that training to spread terror in Pakistan.

“The MQM is a terrorist outfit in guise of a political party and should be banned,” the SSP said in a press conference earlier in the day.

Qaim Ali Shah has directed the Sindh IG to enquire into the matter and submit a report within 24 hours.
