People have lost trust in Sindh police: Imran Khan

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan on Thursday said people of Karachi were wary of transfers in Sindh police, an obvious reference to Sindh government’s decision to send Inspector General AD Khowaja on forced leave.

Imran Khan was talking to media after visiting family of  PTI worker Fazal Rahim who was shot dead by gunmen. Imran Khan said Fazl Rahim was targeted while he was returning home after attending PTI’s Convention. He urged the police authorities to arrest the killers through the help of CCTV footage.

He called for the trial of culprits through military courts. “People do not trust police, they pin hopes on Rangers and military courts,” the PTI chairman said.

“Crime rate will not decease until target killers are arrested,” he said warning the government that the PTI would take to streets if killers of Rahim were not arrested.

He said people have lost their trust in police because the murderers are not punished.
