AD Khawaja also ordered police to initiate a crackdown on street crimes, drug dens, and also on smuggled Irani petrol and diesel.
The gathering included Karachi police’s officers such as DIGs, SSPs, DSPs, and SHOs.
The IGP Sindh has been a victim of a tug of war between judicial orders and the Sindh government.
A notification issued by the Sindh government that replaced AD Khawaja with Sardar Abdul Majeed Dasti as the Inspector General of Police (IGP) was suspended by the SHC on April 3.
Last Month, on May 17 Inspector General Police (IGP) Sindh A. D. Khuwaja had offered to voluntarily resign as top cop of the province, saying that it was made very difficult for him to continue as IGP for the last six months.
