SUKKUR: A total of 30 police officer have been suspended from their duties after they were found involved in the smuggling of Iranian oil and custom-paid vehicles in the region, ARY News reported on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a significant development, authorities in Sukkur have taken action against illegal activities related to Iranian oil and the smuggling of custom-paid vehicles in the region.<\/p>\n

The crackdown has led to the suspension of 30 police officers from their duties, with forced retirements as a penalty.<\/p>\n

However, after a thorough inquiry by the Department of Anti-Corruption, four police officers were reinstated due to the lack of evidence supporting the allegations against them.<\/p>\n

Following the inquiry, a final order has been issued to release the suspended police officers from their duties.<\/p>\n

Notably, 15 officers faced forced retirement, and an equal number were dismissed from their positions.<\/p>\n

The affected officers include members from various ranks, such as ASIs, head constables, sub-inspectors, and constables.<\/p>\n

The decision to suspend these officers was made last year, pending further investigation and reporting by the Anti-Corruption Department.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
