Sindh Police was in focus today a SC and here are some related stories:

SC takes note of top contract hiring

...During the course of hearing, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry observed that even the IG Sindh had been appointed on contract basis while 75 people had been killed in Karachi in January alone. (commenting "Is IG's contract to kill the people of Karachi) ...

Reign of the retired

At least six DIGs serving in the Sindh Police are on contract apart from a number of ‘political’ inductees as deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) and out-of-turn officers promoted to SPs.
...

Facts about rotten police set-up in Sindh

As the law and order situation deteriorates in Sindh, particularly in Karachi, the province is being policed through political loyalists, including 44 Superintendents of Police (SPs) who could not pass the basic entry test or the Police Academy exam, but were appointed as DSPs in 1995, reveal documents with The News.

They had failed in the Academy exam with four of them caught cheating despite the fact they were allowed to attempt papers in Urdu, if they could not do it in English, exempted from the tests relating criminal justice, criminology and international crime. These officers have been kept in service notwithstanding the demand from the then IG Sindh of discharging them from service.
...
Out of 45 directly appointed DSPs, 38 were inducted in the first phase and seven in the second phase and under ‘Shaheen Quota’.

The names of the officers and their political connections have been given below: Khalid Mustafa Korai (former political secretary of President Asif Ali Zardari), Imdad Ali Shah (cousin of former CM Sindh Abdullah Shah), Ali Bux Nizamani (relative of home minister Sindh Dr. Zulfiqar Mirza), Shahjehan (relative of former Senator Taj Haider), Zulfiqar Talpur (son of PPP leader Ghani Talpur), Javed Farooqi (brother-in-law of Amin Fahim), Muhammad Ali Wassan (nephew of MNA Manzoor Wassan), Ghulam Sarwar Bhayo (relative of former MNA Mir Altaf Bhayo), Ali Sher Jekhrani (former secretary to Sindh Assembly Speaker Nisar Khoro), Akhtar Chandio (son of Ali Hassan Chandio, an old friend of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto), Jan Muhammad Brahmani (former president of Sindh People’s Students Federation), Ashfaq Kalyar (son of former DIG Ghulam Shabbir), Dr. Najeeb Khan (son of a journalist who used to work for Reuters), Pir Ahmad Taqi Shah (grandson of former MNA Pir Abdul Qadir Shah), Fida Hussain Janwari (son of a PPP leader Khadim Janwri), Ashiq Ali Bozdar (son of former MPA Ghulam Mustafa Bozdar), Haseeb Afzal Baig (relative of former Senator Mansoor Ahsan), Khawaja Shah Ram (relative of former MNA Afaq Shahid), Latif Siddiqui (PRO to former CM’s Adviser, Muhamamd Yousaf), Zakir Piprani (Excise Inspector), Syed Ali Raza (son of former SSP Kazim Raza), Malik Altaf Sarwar Awan (son of a PPP leader Ghulam Sarwar Awan), Abid Hussain Qaimkhani (brother of a PPP female leader Parveen Bashir), Jam Zafrullah Dharejo (brother of PPP leader Jam Saifullah Dharejo), Naeem Ara Panhawar (a female PPP leader), Ajaz Musawi (nephew of PPP leader Shahfqat Shah), Saadat Ali Yasin (son of Col. Muhammad Yasin), Ajaz Sheikh (son of former director excise, Abdul Ghafoor), Ghulam Nabi Kerio, Aijaz Hashmi, Syed Salman Hussain, Abbas Rizvi, Shad Ibn Mashi, Irfan Mukhtar Butt, Ajaz Hussain Kamario and seven others.

There is a pin drop silence! All these people against MQM may have probably brought up in corrupt civil services families. Obviously why would you bite the feeding hand! Good going!

Let's not forget this list in no way includes the "good" police officers who have made it through the ranks. Let me give you an example:
Current CCPO Karachi.

Nov 2004:
Guess you don't remember he was accused by the then CM Sindh Arbab Rahim of having "links with the Underworld" (He was earlier DIG Operations, Karachi and RPO, Haiderabad at the time (more here. Arbab accuses him thus:"You have always been working against us and you have posted PPP-backed police officers in the district"). Arbab supposedly REMOVED him saying he even had tapes of him with the underworld figure and accused him of "anti-country activities" as well.

Was he fired? Hell no...just shifted to some other post while things were "cleaned up" and cleaned up they were....

The underworld person that this police officer was caught on tape with was none other than don Shoaib Khan who is the supposed killer of Haji Ibrahim and both of them worked for Don Ibrahim I think. But what do underworld dons have on the dons in uniform? Just see what followed:

Shoaib Khan was picked up from Lahore, taken to Karachi "mysteriously" died of a hear-attack and somehow no one managed to do an autopsy while his body literally decomposed in the hospital. The official story reeks of typical police cover-up.

With the other party eliminated and thus out of the picture, the police officer managed to get himself cleared and was soon given a promotion and made Additional IG. And the rise has been steady as you can see he has landed the position of CCPO, Karachi....

Sindh Police is the biggest problem of Sindh.

Only if the the police can be de-politicized and locals from the area appointed in the Police force, the law and order would improve tremendously

I did not see many MQM connections in the list.

@KHAN_Sahib
there is competition between Bhata and Rishwat khoors??

... i like the idea of community policing, Here in my town (in USA) most of Police officers, and even Police chief are living in same town where they are serving.... their kids are going in same school where rest of the kids go.... i know police chief's name and his home address... if i have any complain i would walk to police station without fear....
why not we apply same rules in Sindh and else where in Pakistan....local police to serve their own community.

why Lalokheet ka police wala Lala musa se ata hey or lala musa ka police wala lalokheet se ja rha hey....?
