IG Sindh AD Khawaja removed

KARACHI: Inspector General of Sindh Police (IGP) Allah Dino Khawaja has been removed from his post, it emerged on Saturday.

According to details, Sardar Abdul Majeed Dasti, Additional IG Research and Development, has been appointed as the acting IG of the province in Khawaja’s place. A notification has been issued in this regard.

AD Khawaja was appointed as IG Sindh Police in March 2016 after the federal government removed former Sindh IGP Ghulam Hyder Jamali from his post.

He was sent on forced leave on December 19 after which the responsibilities of Sindh IG were handed over to Additional IG Mushtaq Mehar. The decision was taken by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah few days before the arrival of PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.

Differences emerged between AD Khawaja and the ruling authorities over the issue of recruitments and appointments in Sindh Police.
