The Multan police on Thursday traced and arrested a man accused of killing a school teacher a day earlier in the city’s New Shah Shams Colony.

The victim, identified as Safoora Taimur, was attacked while she was on her way to school on Wednesday.

According to police, the incident occurred around 7:30am when an unidentified man, who had been following her, pulled out a gun and shot her in the head. After the shooting, the attacker stole her mobile phone and fled the scene. Safoora Taimur fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Footage from a CCTV camera, which aired on several news channels, showed that the suspect was trailing the teacher for some time. The victim, seemingly aware of being followed, turned to look at him two or three times before the fatal attack. The video captured the moment the assailant approached her, fired the fatal shot, and then escaped with her phone.

According to a statement from the Multan police on Thursday, “the suspect, identified as Aun Ashraf, was employed at a law enforcement agency.”

The police took timely action and registered a case at the Shah Shams police station and began police action.

Multan City Police Officer Sadiq Ali Dogar took notice of the incident and ordered to trace and track the suspect immediately while issuing directives to form special teams and arrest him.

According to a preliminary investigation, the father of the suspect and the victim worked in the same department, due to which the two families were acquainted and the suspect and victim got to know each other.

Vision by IGP Sindh Mr. Ghulam Nabi Memon, PSP

Prevention of crime, maintenance of law and orders and redressal of public grievances is the foremost priority of Police. Police must ensure that the registration of FIR is swift and hassle free. Negligence, carelessness and unempathetic behavior will not be tolerated at any cost.

In order to control crime supervisory officer should formulate comprehensive anti-crime strategy. Active measures such as improved patrolling/ snap checking covering hotspots of crime (motorcycle theft/ snatching) must be taken. Police should map and analyze the crime pattern of motorcycle theft/ snatching and house robberies and identify professional criminal involved in such crimes. Installation of CCTV cameras across cities should be encouraged. The same may be geo tagged on Google maps and if possible integrated into police surveillance network.

Supervisory officer should be pay special attention to improvement of investigation. Investigations should cover all legal prerequisites, which should be effectively ensured through check and balance such as maintenance of checklists. DIsGP and SSsP should personally monitor the investigation of important cases such as house robberies, ensure their early detection followed by professional collection and presentation of evidence in court. Such cases should be brought to logical conclusion through conviction.

Crimes targeting women, children and minorities should be timely registered, pursued by swift and effective police response. This will promote a sense of security and trust on police among such vulnerable groups.

 

I will not tolerate black sheep who bring disrepute to police through their actions, neither shall I tolerate incompetence, slackness, unwillingness or lack of empathy. Only officers with good reputation and capacity will be given important/ command assignments in the future. My criteria is “Hard work with good intention”.

In addition to detection of crime, securing conviction in the court of law is the ultimate litmus test of effective policing. Police should take judiciary into confidence through their professional and impartial conduct displaying commitment, hard work and integrity. Judiciary is the most important pillar of criminal justice system from which police should draw its strength.

In order to ensure effective tackling of law-and-order situation, anti-riot force should be constituted at each district headquarter. The force should be properly equipped by utilizing the available equipments, carefully selected and given 15-day training batch wise.

Organized crime such as Narcotics peddling, Gutka/ Mainpuri/ Supari manufacturing and distributing should be seriously targeted. Known criminals involved in these crimes be pursued vigorously till they are convicted by the courts.

Conservation of police resources and manpower take the foremost importance. Mismanagement of manpower should be addressed through an effective system of checks. Integration and operation of software “POINT ME” must be expedited.

The doors of my office are open for all ranks. Everyone can approach me about their problems and I shall make utmost efforts these problems are addressed.

May Allah grant us the strength to fulfill the responsibilities assigned to us, Ameen.
