Pakistan interior minister Nisar Ali Khan has suspended the investigation officer and station house officer here for registering an FIR against a three- year-old boy in a land grabbing case besides issuing a show- cause notice to the top officials on the matter.
Nisar on Saturday issued show-cause notice to the Superintendent of Police for negligence and asked IG Islamabad range “why such FIR was registered” against the child, in a bizarre case that also prompted a court to summon the officials concerned.
“On the one hand, people suffer as their FIRs don’t get registered while on the other hand, a case was registered by police without any investigation,” Khan said.
According to a statement issued by the ministry, he suspended the Investigation Officer and Station House Officer of Shalimar police station in Islamabad for registering the FIR against the toddler without undertaking proper investigation.
The child has been accused of grabbing land of a plaza and stealing its property following which his family approached the court to secure a bail before he could be arrested.
