ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Saturday suspended the Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Lahore Ghulam Muhammad Dogar for his alleged “failure” to protect Punjab’s Governor House.
The establishment division of the government issued a notification to suspend the 21-grade officer of the police service.
“Ghulam Mahmood Dogar, a BS-21 officer of the Police Service of Pakistan presently serving under Government of Punjab, is placed under suspension, with immediate effect and until further orders,” the notification issued by the establishment division read.
The development came a day after the PTI’s supporters’ violent protest outside the Governor House in Lahore against the attack on the party’s Chairman Imran Khan.
Sources also cited the politicisation of police as a reason for Dogar’s suspension.
