Inspector General Police (IGP) Sindh Ghulam Haider Jamali has been sacked after the Supreme Court (SC) on Friday ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to probe the alleged corruption in Sindh Police.

AIG AD Khawaja has been nominated new provincial police chief and the federal government has appointed him with the consultation of Sindh government.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has signed the summery of appointment of Khawaja as IGP Sindh.

The development came a day after the Supreme Court (SC) on Friday ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to probe the alleged corruption in Sindh Police and sought a report in this regard within four weeks.

The apex court also asked whether or not it is appropriate that Sindh Inspector General of Police (IGP) continues to hold office.

The apex court ordered proceedings against the Sindh IGP Ghulam Haider Jamali, former additional IGP Fida Hussain and other high ranking officers in cases pertaining to payment of the cost of investigation to investigation officers of the police and illegal appointments in the Sindh Police.

The direction came in the light of a report of three-member fact-finding committee headed by AIG AD Khawaja, constituted to inquire the allegation of corruption in illegal appointments in the police and a lack of transparency in allocation of the cost of investigation to investigation officers.

  1. Good Step… Now Supreme Court should also look into the affairs of Chief Secretary of Sindh as well. He is defying the orders of Supreme court by not only keeping the non cadre officers on their post but also not giving due promotions to the officers which even the Supreme court ordered. The simple reason being that all officers on deputation are still working in the same capacity even though Chief Secretary has submitted the list that they have been relieved. We hope that supreme court verify and then order inquiry against the CS. It is so sad that our court have to intervene on such matters which are needless. But of course having your confidants always help in making richer dough.
