Former Bahawalpur Police Officials Accused of Corruption and Harassment

A recent report by the Special Branch has uncovered a disturbing revelation regarding several former police officials in Bahawalpur. The report alleges that these officials were engaged in blackmailing and harassing innocent citizens under the direction of a former DPO of Bahawalpur. The tactics employed included seizing mobile phones of arrested individuals, fabricating false accusations, and extorting them for personal gain.

Furthermore, the report implicates the officials in registering false drug cases against employees of the Islamia University, as well as engaging in corrupt practices such as receiving bribes for influencing police postings. One suspect, Abdullah, was found to have received a substantial sum of money from a drug-related incident and was accused of theft in connection with illegal substances.

In response to these shocking revelations, a judicial commission led by Justice Sarfraz Dogar has been established to investigate the allegations of harassment and misconduct. Additionally, a victim came forward to recount a harrowing experience where she and her family were subjected to physical and sexual violence by the accused individuals.

The unfolding scandal involving former police officials in Bahawalpur highlights the urgent need for accountability and reform within law enforcement agencies. The authorities must take swift and decisive action to address these serious allegations and ensure that justice is served for the victims of such egregious misconduct.
