Islamabad Police Embroiled in Embezzlement Scandal

An inquiry has revealed embezzlement by Islamabad police personnel over a raid on robbers. Thana Noon police arrested four dacoits, recovering Rs. 1.5 crores and 2 kilos of gold. However, in a stunning twist, the police embezzled the recovered amount and gold.

Embezzlement Exposed

Instead of registering a robbery case, the Islamabad police officials filed a case of illegal weapons. Further investigation by the Wah Cantt police exposed the Thana Noon police’s involvement, leading to a re-arrest of the dacoits. The arrested dacoits revealed the Thana Noon police’s complicity, prompting an inquiry launched on the request of the Punjab Police.

Investigation and Dismissal

The inquiry resulted in the dismissal of four employees, including the SHO. The Wah Cantt police are now pursuing the recovery of the embezzled amount and gold and may arrest the dismissed federal police officers.
