IG Sindh Mushtaq Mahar has deferred his own leave and ordered Sindh police officers to set aside their leave applications for 10 days, “pending the conclusion of the inquiry” regarding Captain Safdar’s arrest.
The development came a few hours after several high ranking officers of the Sindh Police requested to proceed on leave as the controversy over the arrest of PML-N leader Captain Mohammad Safdar intensified on Tuesday.
In a series of tweets, Sindh Police thanked the army chief for “realising the sense of hurt that prevailed within a uniformed force, and for promptly ordering an inquiry into the matter”.
