[DAWN] The Sindh government on Wednesday dismissed from service a former Senior Superintendent Police of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... Central Prison and six other officials after an inquiry committee found evidence of their involvement in the escape of two high-profile Lashkar-e-Jhangvi ![]() (LJ) Lions of Islam last year, Dawn reported. Sheikh Mumtaz alias Firaun and Mohammad Ahmed alias Munna, two Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ) Death Eaters, who were incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! by the CTD in 2013 for their alleged involvement in the killing of over 60 people, had beat feet from the Central Jail on June 13, 2017. A team of Sherlocks led by DIG Prisons retired Capt Pervez Ahmed Chandio conducted a detailed investigation into their escape and concluded that over a dozen jail officials "abetted and facilitated" the jailbreak. "The accused Senior Superintendent of Prison Ghulam Murtaza Sheikh and his accused subordinates behaved carelessly, negligently and dishonestly throughout their tenure in maintaining discipline and order at the Central Prison Karachi," according to the findings of DIG Prisons. DIG Chandio opined that at the time of the jailbreak the prison was being influenced by some "powerful" prisoners instead of the jail administration. "The accused officers miserably failed to enforce Sindh Prisons Rules, 1978, and the departmental SOPs during the period in question, which ultimately created a loose environment for hardcore prisoners namely Mohammad Ahmed alias Munna and Sheikh Mumtaz to escape easily," he stated. |
