KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has ordered an investigation against former Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Malir Rao Anwar on five charges, sources revealed on Friday.
Sources said that the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Jameel Ahmed – who was criticised by Anwar himself during a media talk – has been appointed the investigative officer of the probe against the police official.
The charges include land grabbing, mistreatment with subordinates, supervising illegal businesses, leaking report to a newspaper about the raid on Khawaja Izhar’s residence and holding press conferences despite being banned from doing so.
In September, Police arrested Khawaja Izharul Hasan from his residence in Karachi’s Buffer Zone area. He was handcuffed and taken away by SSP Malir Rao Anwar in an Armoured Personnel Vehicle (APV).
Sources said that many senior officials of the Sindh Police were not happy with the decision and had complaint about the matter to top political leadership of the province. Subsequently, the chief minister ordered an investigation against SSP Anwar.
