ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Thursday lauded the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police, saying there can be no comparison between “the autonomous, depoliticised and professional KP police and totally politicised and non-professional Sindh and Punjab police”.
The Supreme Court and political opponents of the PTI have criticised the KP police over failure to trace out the culprit behind the grisly rape and murder of four-year-old Aasma.
In a statement on his official Twitter account, Imran Khan said: “There can be no comparison between the autonomous, depoliticised and professional kP police and totally politicised and non professional Sindh and Punjab police.”

He further said: “The KP Police Act has completely depoliticised the police force, whereas in Sindh and Punjab the police is used to victimise opponents and on occasions kill them extra judicially.”

On Tuesday, a three-member bench of the Supreme Court (SC) headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar, while hearing the rape and murder case of four-year-old Aasma reprimanded the KP police over their inability to nab the culprit behind Aasma’s murder.
The CJP, during the hearing, remarked that the failure to arrest the culprit in the murder and rape of minor Aasma shows the incompetence of the provincial police force.
The four-year-old went missing from the Gujjar Garhi area on January 13 and was found dead in a sugarcane field the next day at 3pm after search efforts by the police and family. The police joined the family’s search after being informed of the incident at 9pm on January 13.
After the body was found, an FIR [First Information Report] was registered and Mardan RPO and DPO visited Aasma’s family on January 14 to personally record details of the incident.
Nothing but lies. KP Police is indeed corrupt to the core and what to say, DNA samples were sent to Punjab owing to absence of such facility in KP.
