In the Mir Raza Ali case, police have dismissed Sub-Inspector Kamran Qureshi, the former station house officer (SHO) of Gulistan-e-Johar police station, over alleged negligence in the investigation of Mir Raza's murder. Police officials said he allegedly failed to visit the crime scene after Mir Raza's body was recovered in Block 1 of Gulistan-e-Johar. The Additional Inspector General of Police, a senior officer, confirmed that Qureshi has been dismissed from service over the alleged dereliction of duty.
Inquiry and the JIT
An internal inquiry is also under way against the head moharrir, the officer who keeps a police station's records, and the duty officers of the Gulistan-e-Johar police station. Separately, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), a group of investigators working on the case together, had summoned the former Ferozabad SHO and other relevant police officials for questioning.
Qureshi and another officer, Adeel Afzal, appeared before the JIT and recorded detailed statements. The JIT is now examining those statements and reviewing different aspects of the case.
What happens next
Investigations into Mir Raza's murder are continuing. The results of the internal inquiry and the JIT's findings have not yet been announced, and the police statements so far concern the handling of the crime scene rather than the cause of death.
Aasan alfaaz mein
Mir Raza ke qatl ke case mein police ne Gulistan-e-Johar ke SHO Kamran Qureshi ko barkhaast kar diya hai. Un par aarop hai ke unhon ne lash mili wali jagah ka muaina nahi kiya, jo unki zimmedari thi. Ek alag inquiry bhi chal rahi hai aur JIT ab bhi tehqiqat kar rahi hai. Aam shehri ke liye iska matlab hai ke police ki laaparwahi par jawabdahi ka sawal uth raha hai.
