SUKKUR: Sindh Inspector General Ghulam Nabi Memon has removed Sukkur CIA in-charge DSP Abdul Sattar Phull after an inquiry found him guilty of patronising crime dens in the district.

According to sources, Sukkur SSP Singhar Malik had conducted an inquiry against DSP Phull over the last few weeks and filed his report to the IGP.
