Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has taken notice of construction of a house by a police official on public land and sought a report from the Inspector-General of Islamabad Police.
According to sources, Noon Police Station Sub Inspector Manzoor Hussain has constructed his house on a main public road land, blocking peoples’ access to a mosque.
According to the source, residents of Mohalla Awan Abad had approached the interior ministry, apprising him that the local police were protecting the sub-inspector by not taking action against him despite repeated complaints.
According to the source, a police inquiry report has also identified the occupation of the public land and had recommended action against the police official; however, the local police didn’t give it any attention resulting in the residents approaching the interior ministry.
