Expressing strong displeasure over the DIG Operation’s failure to show upin the court in a missing person’s case despite summons, the Islamabad HighCourt (IHC) on Monday said that the Islamabad Police’s conduct was not suchwhich could earn it respect, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
During the hearing of the petition filed for the recovery of MuhammadHamid, a citizen, who has been missing since February 2, 2022, JusticeAamer Farooq of the IHC remarked that how unfortunate it was that wheneverthe court summoned a police official, he fell sick.
“If the DIG is sick, the IGP, Islamabad is hale and hearty. Why not wesummon him,” the judge asked.
“I am at a loss to understand what is happening. It should be ineverybody’s knowledge what police is up to,” he said, adding, “Policeofficials are changing their statements for the last four months.”
There could be two possibilities, he surmised, that either the Force wasincompetent or was hands in gloves with the perpetrators of the crime.

“A person from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) came to Islamabad and was picked bythe CTD personnel. And you have no clue about to his whereabouts,” JusticeFarooq wondered.
“Please tell us whether Hamid is alive or dead,” he said while addressingthe SSP Operations, who was present in the courtroom.
Ordering the DIG Operations and SSP Operations to appear in the court onthe next hearing, the court adjourned the hearing until Friday (October 21,2022).
