Authorities on Wednesday suspended Superintendent Camp Jail Gulzar Butt for alleged involvement in Bank of Punjab (BOP) scam accused Sheikh Muhammad Afzal’s attempt to escape from the prison. Sources said Gulzar Butt was suspended after completion of an inquiry that confirmed his involvement in Afzal’s jail break attempt.
Afzal had tried to flee jail by hiding himself in a mini truck (Mazda) deputed to bring ice in jail. Sources said Gulzar Butt had allegedly received Rs 40 million from Afzal to facilitate him. Prison department sources said the inquiry established that Gulzar was also involved in monetary corruption at Camp Jail.
