CrimeIHC orders action against IGP Islamabad within 24 hours

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday ordered to take action against Islamabad’s Inspector-General of Police (IG) Bin Amin Khan within 24 hours for failure to arrest former military rule Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf immediately after the cancellation of his protective bail on April 18.

During the hearing of Musharraf escape case, Additional IG Operations Sultan Taimuri submitted a report to Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui stating that SSP Operations Yasir Farooq had ordered 40 police officials to arrest Musharraf but there were only three officials present in the court when the ex-president escaped.

The additional IG also said that the DSP Secretariat was not performing his duty at the premises, and 140 Rangers officials had cordoned the court premises off at the time of the hearing.

The report added that SHO Secretariat Qaiser Gilani was held responsible for Musharraf’s case and was issued a show-cause notice, while DSP Secretariat Idrees Rathore was suspended from his duties for showing negligence.

The court remarked that the suspended constables have been reinstated by the interior ministry, and it was IG Islamabad who was responsible in the case.

Justice Siddiqui said that the IG Islamabad was lying to the court and action should be taken against him in 24 hours for deceiving the court.

The additional IG assured the bench that the caretaker interior minister will ensure that the court’s orders are implemented as soon as he returns from Karachi.
