We have been subject of a wrong FIR (#187) by KPK Police (Sharqi PS to be exact) where I along with my two nephews were nominated in the FIR. The truth of the matter is, it was infact the rivals who assailed me in the presence of Police but police instead registered an FIR against me.
Worse my nephews were not even present on the scene. In fact one of my nephew was present in his class at the time which is solid Alibi nevertheles police arrested all of us and sent us to Jail because the rival is influential and include a DSP as well
We approached IGP, SSP Inv, SSP Op, CCPO but to no avail. The rival case has plethora of problems which we have highlighted here in detail which includes wrong section of laws by Police, registering FIR on incomplete medical report, delaying FIR for 3 days and ignoring our solid Alibi, CCTV footage, conducting no investigation what so ever.
When all the above officers failed, we approached IGP once again to please re-open the investigation has litteraly there are no witness in the FIR, no statements recorded, where incidence map shows 5 people but no roles has been assigned to any of them. After our repeated and consistent pursual, IGP finally allowed re-investigation of FIR.
We were scheculed a meeting with DIG Investigation, Shahzad Alam. First this meeting was suppose to be conducted with a week or two after I had submitted my application but it took 3+ long months because of lack of cooperation from lower Police. But finally we were called for this meeting
Our meeting started off well with DIG Investigation. He realized that proper investigation was never conducted and two innocent students were wronfully involved one of them had solid alibi. He immediatly repreimended the Investigation Officer and order show cause to be issued to him.
Then I raised my concern that we are asking 1) Investigation to be re-opened so my nephews names can be removed from the FIR 2) Action must be taken agaisnt Police for their extremely wrong role (We had a JIT report in our favour) and 3) Police must also register my FIR which has not been registered yet.
DIG did not take interest in any of my requests and for the most part he digressed from the case and talked about irrelevent things, like you will not get anything out of it and it would be wast of your time and money trying to convince me that do not follow this case in the cour of law and that do Sulah with the rivals. I respectuflly said, I am looking for justice, but he said I have ego problem etc most of this discussion has nothing to do with the case
In short he refused to re-open investigaation stating that this case was already looked over 'SSP Investigation' and a previous Dig, so he cannot help. I explainted my case had serious flaws and that my nephew had solid Alibi that needs to be considered, yet he plainly ignored it. My nephew himself was present in the meeting and interestingly the Investigation Officer also said "he was indeed not present on the scene" but DIG was more interestd in issuing show cause than to actually re-open investigation
For the reader, let me clear that up that in Police everyone has right to ask for re-investigate. If a person is not satisified with Police Station, they ask CCPO for re-investigation and if they are still not satisfied with the result, they can ask DIG for re-investigation. Two investigation is right of every citizen and it cannot be denied. But we were denied second change of investigation just because the rival is too influential and there case is litterally nothing which will be an embarassment to the influential VIP if dissolved by Police. I was told by DIG, he can't meet me again in this case, to make things clear and that I should have no hope from him.
If I am not wrong, this DIG also povided training to Police during various training course which may included Investigation as well.
My personnel opinion is meeting this DIG would be a waste of time if you have a case for him. Be prepared that he will digress from the main issues and talk nonsense like 'dont waste you time and money [by comming to police - implied]' and just do sulah and chill out.
I hope that somebody finds this useful. I am also writing this with hope that people should know about the change (tabdeeli) in KPK Police which is litterally none esp after departur of previous IGP Nasir Khan Durrani.
Working with KPK Police has been utter disappointment at all levels. They could not control a retd brigadier who has been out of service for some 20 years ago. VIP culure is still dominent in KPK Police and you cant even think about registering an FIR against the influential. The change that PTI has promised is more on facebook and less on the ground
