PM Khan approves a huge package for SP Tahir Khan Dawar family

ISLAMABAD - Prime Minister Imran Khan has approved a package of Rs70 million for the grieving family of Superintendent of Police (SP) Tahir Khan Dawar.

SP Dawar, head of Peshawar police’s rural circle, was kidnapped in Islamabad on October 26 and his body was recovered in Afghanistan Nangarhar province the next month.

"SP Tahir Dawar was a brave son of Pakistan," State Minister Sheharyar Afridi said at a press conference in Islamabad alongside Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Inspector General of Police Salahuddin Khan Mehsud. He recalled that the deceased police officer had previously survived two attacks and was a bread earner for three families.
