The police department will assign inquiries to the said officers in accordance with their ranks to take further action on the complaints of misuse of power and corruption. The internal accountability branch will hold investigations against police officials and senior officers.
Earlier in March, it was learnt that the Sindh police had decided to form a new unit within the police department under the supervision of an Additional Inspector General (AIG) ranked official in order to introduce accountability and transparent policing in the province.
The Internal Accountability Unit (IAU) in the police had replaced an older and now quashed post of AIG Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), and the senior cop Farhat Junejo will be heading the newly formed unit. The inception of new post and scrapping of the old one had been approved by the provincial government.
