DIG Investigation Lahore Police sacked over inaccurate reply on complaint of Pakistan Citizen Portal

LAHORE – Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Ahmad Buzdar made the DeputyInspector-general (DIG) Investigation, Inam Waheed, officer on special duty(OSD) for repeated submission of flawed reports on a case.

According to a communiqué issued by the Public Relations department ofPunjab government on Saturday, two police officers i.e InchargeInvestigation Police Station Manawan, Farrukh Riaz and AssistantSub-Inspector Shafeeq Mohsin were also suspended.

The instructions came after the PM office directed the Punjab government toinquire the matter related to a kidnap case.

The directions came after a Lahore-based lady registered a complaint onPakistan Citizen Portal about the abduction of her daughter, but the policesubmitted inaccurate reports about the progress on the case.

The Director-General Anti-Corruption, Ijaz Shah has now been directed tocomplete the inquiry within a week and submit a report to the Punjabgovernment.

In October last year, Prime Minister Imran Khan had launched ‘PakistanCitizen Portal’ aimed at addressing the problems of the people by bridgingthe gap between the public and concerned departments through technology.

According to stats quoted by Radio Pakistan last week, over eight hundredseventy five thousand people have so far been registered at PakistanCitizen Portal, including more than eighty thousand overseas Pakistanis.
