Defence C SHO Removed With Immediate Effect
The Station House Officer of Lahore’s Defence C Police Station has been removed from his post with immediate effect.
The officer has been identified as Faryad Ashraf.
Police sources said the action was taken after a complaint was filed by a judge posted at the Cantt courts.
The development was reported on Friday and has raised questions about official communication procedures between police officers and judicial officers.
According to police sources, the complaint was linked to the SHO’s contact with the judge in connection with a case involving the alleged kidnapping of foreign women.
Judge Objected to Contact After Duty Hours
Sources said SHO Faryad Ashraf contacted the judge after official duty hours.
The judge reportedly became annoyed over the timing of the communication and later submitted a complaint to the Deputy Inspector General Operations.
Police sources claimed the SHO had contacted the judge with permission from a senior police official.
However, the complaint led to immediate administrative action.
The SHO was removed from his post to avoid further legal complications, according to police sources.
Case Linked to Foreign Women Kidnapping Investigation
The matter is connected to an ongoing investigation involving the alleged kidnapping of foreign women in Lahore.
Police sources did not share further details about the case or the exact reason for the SHO’s communication with the judge.
The removal highlights the sensitivity of communication between police and judicial officers during active investigations.
It also shows that law enforcement officials are expected to follow proper channels and professional boundaries, especially in cases involving courts.
Authorities have not yet announced whether any departmental inquiry will be launched against the removed SHO.
For now, Faryad Ashraf has been taken off his position, while police officials are expected to continue the investigation under a new administrative arrangement.
The incident has drawn attention to discipline within the police department and the need for clear procedures in sensitive legal matters.
