MANSEHRA, May 18: District Police Office Tahir Ayub on Wednesday suspended an assistant sub-inspector for allegedly accepting Rs15,000 bribe from a victim family to lodge their FIR and later refusing to do so.

Mohammad Shabir, father of a kidnapped girl, told a press conference that Sher Afzal, Mohammad Afzal and Khan Afzal kidnapped his 11-year-old daughter, but the Saddar police did not lodge the FIR of the case on his complaint.

He alleged that ASI Mohammad Shaukat received Rs15,000 bribe for registration of the case, but he did not do so even after receiving the money.

After preliminary investigation, the DPO suspended the ASI and constituted a committee under DSP Ijaz Ahmad to investigate the case.

Meanwhile, the DSP told reporters that one of the accused in murder case of Waseem Afridi had been arrested and produced before the court. He claimed that the accused Alamzab had revealed that he and his nephew Khursheed Tanoli killed Mr Afridi.
