Pakpattan DPO transfer: Punjab IG reveals about Ahsan Gujjar

Ahsan Jamil Gujjar is the husband of Bushra Maneka’s close friend Farah.

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 31st August, 2018) A hearing on suo motu notice of Pakpattan DPO Rizwan Gondal was held in the Supreme Court on Friday.

A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar heard the suo motu notice case. Punjab Inspector General (IG) Kaleem Imam, Additional Punjab IG Abu Bakar Khuda Bakhsh, suspended DPO Rizwan Gondal and serving DPO Pakpattan and RPO Sahiwal attended the hearing.

During the hearing, the CJP inquired, “On whose orders the transfer orders of DPO were issued? Where is Khawar Maneka? Why was the DPO forced to apologize to him? What was the need to issue transfer order at 1am?”

“Who is Ahsan Jamil Gujjar? Is he authorized to give the transfer orders?” he further asked.

To this, the Punjab IG Kaleem Imam told the court that Ahsan Jamil Gujjar is the husband of Bushra Maneka’s close friend Farah.

“Ahsan Jamil Gujjar’s wife Farah is the friend of first lady Bushra Maneka,” he said.

To this, the CJP asked, “Is this the same lady in whose residence the Nikkah ceremony of first lady was held?”

“Yes, she is the same lady,” the IGP replied.

The Supreme Court then summoned Khawar Maneka, Colonel Tariq of an intelligence agency and Ahsan Jamil Gujjar on Monday after they failed to present themselves on Friday.

Pakpattan DPO Rizwan Gondal was allegedly transferred for stopping Khawar Maneka, the former husband of Bushra Maneka, at a police check post.

According to media reports, Maneka had used abusive language when police officials tried to stop him at a picket last Thursday. DPO Rizwan Gondal was later asked to apologize to Maneka at his home which he refused, saying the police officials present on the occasion did not commit any crime.

Gondal was then transferred by the Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) Syed Kaleem Imam.

After the news of the DPO’s transfer went viral on social media, the IGP said that the Pakpattan DPO was not transferred ‘under any pressure but for making false statements’.
