The ACE has registered the case under Section 161, 162 of the PPC and 5/2/47 of Prevention of Corruption Act and obtained two-day physical remand.

ARRESTED: A lady police inspector was arrested on Tuesday by the ACE on charges of receiving illegal gratification. Falaksher alleged that he met Mrs Pervez Aslam in the chamber of his lawyer, Rana Saleem Akhtar and sought her help for analysis of finger prints in connection with a case.
