RAWALPINDI: City Police Officer (CPO) Syed Khalid Mehmood Hamdani has taken stern action against a police officer for misconduct with a woman.

The CPO suspended ASI Imtiaz Nasir following allegations of misbehavior, directing SP Pothohar to conduct a thorough inquiry into the matter and submit a detailed report. The incident unfolded when Taxila police apprehended Basir Khan, a wanted criminal linked to pickpocketing cases, who resisted arrest alongside his mother. Basir Khan has since been detained and taken into custody. The CPO emphasized a zero-tolerance policy towards the abuse of authority or mistreatment with citizens. He promised that stringent action would be taken against those found responsible, emphasizing the importance of self-accountability within the force.
