Cop held for allegedly taking bribe in Jampur
RAJANPUR, Jul 13 (APP):Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Dera Ghazi Khan on Monday arrested a police official
red-handed for accepting a bribe of Rs15,000 in Jampur.
Circle Officer Headquarters Shahzad Gul conducted the raid on directions of ACE Regional Director Malik Ziaul Haq.
The accused, Hafeezullah, security in-charge constable at City Police Station Jampur, was caught accepting marked currency notes from complainant Muhammad Kamran, son of Muhammad Ramzan, a resident of Ejaz Sarwar Colony, Jampur.
According to the complaint, Kamran runs a motorcycle stand outside the Benazir Income Support Programme office in Jampur to support his family. He alleged that the constable had harassed him for weeks and had already extorted Rs40,000 from him earlier, besides threatening to shut down his stand and take other action if further payments were not made.
Under pressure, Kamran agreed to pay Rs15,000 but approached the ACE office instead, seeking a trap raid rather than paying the bribe.
Acting on the complaint, Circle Officer Shahzad Gul conducted the trap raid under the supervision of Yasir Rana, Magistrate Section 30, Jampur, and arrested the accused on the spot.
A case, FIR No. 33/2026, has been registered against the accused at ACE Police Station Headquarters, Dera Ghazi Khan. Further legal action is under way.
