The provincial police chief and 12 other senior police officers will be formally indicted on December 01 for contempt of court after the Sindh High Court rejected their apologies over a court siege during a police operation on May 23 to arrest former home minister Dr Zulfiqar Mirza and his supporters as well as over the manhandling of journalists.
The federation had submitted its reply in the SHC, in which it stated that decision to remove IG Sindh Ghulam Hyder Jamali was to be taken by the provincial government.
Provincial Chief Secretary also submitted reply on behalf of Sindh government. He said the provincial government will comply with the court orders, however, it was appropriate time to take action against higher police officials.
Taking action against higher police officials at a time when Sindh police is busy in operation against terrorists and the next phase of local bodies elections is also remaining, will demoralize the officials.
During today’s hearing, the SHC observed that court would get its orders implemented.
