Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad has sought the resignation of Citizen Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) Chairman Ahmed Chinoy.
According to sources, the governor has asked Chinoy to resign following irregularities that surfaced during investigation of cases involving abduction for ransom. Sources further said the governor, after consulting Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, will announce a new CPLC chief in the coming days for which names of potential candidates have been sought from the provincial government.
Rangers personnel raided Chinoy’s house in January this year and questioned him for a considerable period in addition to confiscating documents from his home.
Chinoy had himself confirmed to a news channels that his house was raided by Rangers in a move, he said, was an “attempt to tarnish his image”. But in a dramatic turn of events, he later changed his stance when he told a press conference that “no raid was conducted and the media was spreading disinformation based on anonymous sources”.
Chinoy had also denied rumours that an amount of Rs 1.5 million was recovered from his house, adding that he had no involvement in any kidnapping case.
