RAWALPINDI: Four officials of the Dolphin Force, an elite unit of the Punjab Police, have been suspended and charged with filming a TikTok video at the house of a notorious land grabber in Rawalpindi.
A video showing officials enjoying a feast and dancing at the residence of land mafia leader Khabib Khan has gone viral on social media. According to the FIR registered at the Morgha police station here, the officials, identified as Head Constable Tauseef, constables Muhammad Ali, Imran and Saqib were supposed to be on patrol and security duty in the Newtown area on night of December 9. They, however, lied to their headquarters about their location and instead went to the house of Khabib Khan, who is wanted by the police for several cases of land grabbing and extortion.
The FIR said that the officials not only violated the discipline and dignity of the police department but also compromised the security and law-and-order situation in the area by getting close to a criminal.
The FIR was filed on the complaint of Aizaz Azim, head of the Dolphin Force, who said he came to know about the incident after a head constable showed him the video.
The police suspended the four officials and started an investigation against them. They also confiscated their weapons, uniforms and motorcycles. According to the media reports, the police also raided the house of Khabib Khan, but he managed to escape.
