MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English):  Citizens have staged a protest against the recent disciplinary action taken against Station House Officer (SHO) Civil Secretariat Police Station, Muzaffarabad, Raja Sohail Khan.

Protestors blocked the Old Secretariat Road, alleging that SHO Raja Sohail Khan was transferred as Office of Special Duty (OSD) in a biased case.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Central Police Office in Muzaffarabad took action against Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Civil Secretariat Police Station Tanzeel Siddique for taking bribes from an influential person and SHO Raja Sohail for poor command and control.

According to the protestors, SHO Sohail was framed into the case for arresting the Deputy Secretary of the Prime Minister’s House, Arif Butt, for alleged involvement in immoral activities.

As per details, another employee of the AJK Information Department, who was connected to the same case, was also arrested.

During the investigation, the employee of the Information Department also named influential political figures under whose shadow the employee was working.

While sources said that the action was taken against ASI Tanzeel for arresting relatives of an influential figure for possessing alcohol.

According to the police order issued on Tuesday, SHO Sohail has been transferred immediately to the central police office for poor command and control.

As the protest escalated, the administration assured the protestors a transparent inquiry into the case within three days, leading to the reopening of the road.
