SC orders removal of IGP, DG Rangers in 3 days

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) ordered on Friday to remove DG Rangers Sindh and IG Police Sindh within three days, Geo News reported.

The SC Thursday took suo moto notice of cold blooded killing of young man by Rangers personnel and summoned DG Rangers Sindh Maj. Gen. Chaudhry Ejaz, Sindh Chief Secretary Abdul Subhan Memon, IG Sindh Fayyaz Leghari and Provincial and Federal Home Secretaries for today's hearing.

A five-member larger bench of the SC headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary heard the case.

While hearing the case, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Chaudhry said that Rangers are involved in target killing instead of stopping it. DG Rangers and IGP should have resigned after the incident, he remarked.

Chief Secretary Sindh accepted the failure of civil administration and surrendered before the court upon which the CJP asked him to find a way out of this mess.

Interior Secretary told the court that Rangers are under the admin control of Sindh government and the deployment notification is revised after every three months.
