SHC grants bail to Haleem Adil in case lodged at Kunri police station

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Vice president and parliamentary party leader in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh along with his teams of lawyers reached the Sindh High Court (SHC), where he was granted bail in a case lodged against him at Kunri police station.

Earlier, talking to media outside the SHC, Haleem Adil said he came to get justice from the court. He said he had gone to Kunri to offer a funeral prayer of the martyrs of Tezgam Train fire tragedy, where he was attacked at the behest of provincial minister Sindh Nawaz Taimoor Talpur and SSP Umerkot Aijaz Sheikh.

He said he was assaulted and the vehicle of his friend was damaged. However, the police also lodged FIR against them. He said this type of injustice creeps in society when ‘politicized SSPs’ are posted. He said the police did not allow him to lodge an FIR against the attackers. 

However, eventually, a case was lodged on the application of his private secretary Lal Muhammad against Nawab Taimoor Talpur, SSP Umerkot Aijaz Sheikh, town chairmen Shakeel Bajwa and others.

He said this is the history of the PPP government that the police officers who do not follow their illegal orders are transferred and removed. He said Qayum Pitafi arrested a criminal and he was transferred. He said SSP Dr Rizwan was also punished for telling truth.

He said the IGP Sindh Kaleem Imam refused to become the slave of PPP government and now conspiracy is being hatched to remove him. He said today chief minister has written a letter to the Prime Minister and suggested three names for the slot of IGP Sindh.

He said the rulers also tried to mislead the court and said they were holding consultations. He asked if such letters were ever written when IGPs of Punjab and KpK were transferred. He said the Sindh rulers presented a charge sheet against the IGP on media.

He said now instead of the chief secretary, the secretary service is writing letters to the federal government. He said the federal government would send three names and till its satisfaction, the present IGP would not be transferred.

He said the federal government is not a Bilawal House to take decisions after hidden deals. He said everything would be done as per law and rules. He said the rulers of Sindh want an IGP who behaves like their personal servant but it is not possible.
