SP Sadar Investigation Muntzir Mehdi on Sunday said that police investigators will face dismissal from service, reversion to lower rank and even booked for conducting investigation in a careless manner. Talking to the media, he said that such police investigators found guilty would be served show-cause notices for dismissal from service.
In case of any other negligence, the guilty investigator will be reverted to lower rank, he said, adding that in minor negligence, his service for a specific period will be forfeited.
He said on special directives of the Punjab chief minister, IGP and CCPO, all police investigators had once again been directed to conduct investigation on merit and ensure 100 per cent recovery of stolen goods. Inspectors and other subordinate officers during investigation must personally visit sites of occurrence, record statements of witnesses and collect all relevant information required under the law, he said. The SP said the accused if found involved in the commission of offence should be rounded up without delay and must conduct investigation strictly in accordance with law. Mehdi said injustice with any person could never be tolerated and it was duty of police investigators to deliver goods by providing relief to aggrieved people within the ambit of law.
