In what appears to be an unprecedented move, 61 station house officers (SHOs) with alleged criminal record have been suspended from service and also removed from their posts across the province.
Most of the SHOs are from Faisalabad, Lahore, Sheikhupura and Kasur.
Of the 61 officers, the list of 48 was generated and forwarded by the Central Police Office (CPO) to the senior field police officers for their suspension and removal from the posts. The CPO had recommended action against them on the basis of the criminal record obtained by the Human Resource Management System of the Punjab police department. Others have been placed under suspension and removed from their respective posts by the field police officers on the basis of the criminal record at their respective districts.
Action was taken against them on the directions of the IGP who had ordered the regional, city and district police officers of the province to get rid of the SHOs having criminal record or those who had been awarded major punishments. The IGP received 99 per cent compliance from the RPOs, CPOs and DPOs within 24 days of his order.
