Sindh’s Inspector General Ghulam Nabi Memon has kicked off a key probe against four deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) over grave charges, including corruption, land grabbing, and ties to criminal groups.
Deputy Inspector General Tanveer Alam Odho will lead the inquiry. He must deliver a full report by September 26, 2025. This move aims to root out wrongdoing in the ranks.
The DSPs under scrutiny are Aurangzeb Khattak (Sohrab Goth), Asif Munir (Kalakot), Shabbir Ahmed (Kharadar), and Zafar Iqbal (Eidgah). Each faces specific claims that undermine public trust.
The charges paint a troubling picture of abuse. Aurangzeb Khattak stands accused of land grabbing and aiding smuggling. These acts allegedly harm communities and boost illegal trade. Asif Munir faces extortion claims. Sources say he took money from drug dealers and the parking mafia. Such ties erode law enforcement’s core role.

Shabbir Ahmed and Zafar Iqbal share similar woes. Ahmed allegedly collected illegal fees from street vendors and tea stalls. Iqbal adds illegal parking rackets to the list. These cases highlight patterns of graft. They show how officers may exploit power for gain. The inquiry seeks facts to ensure fair action.
This probe fits a larger push against misconduct. Earlier in 2025, The News reported a big sweep. Sindh’s IG suspended 50 officers across Karachi, Sukkur, Larkana, and Mirpurkhas. The list included 14 inspectors, three sub-inspectors, one assistant sub-inspector, plus head constables and constables. All moved to “B Company” at Police Headquarters, South Garden. A formal notice sealed the orders.
