| [DAWN] 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... police on Monday booked a presiding officer over charges of impersonation, forgery and cheating on the orders of a judge of City Courts, said City Zone SSP Dr Samiullah Soomro. Police have invoked Sections 419, 420, 468, 471 and 34 of the Pakistain Penal Code against DMC West Zone official Waheedullah, who was appointed as the presiding officer of PS-93 and PS-95 in Korangi district. Sharing details of the case, SSP Soomro said that Waheedullah did not appear for his election training and instead sent someone else in his place. Another polling officer present there brought the matter to the judge’s notice, upon which the judge called Waheedullah and informed police about the matter. Subsequently, police started the paperwork but haven't done much else against Waheedullah over charges of impersonation, forgery and cheating. |
