LAHORE: Head of May 9 Joint Investigation Team (JIT) DIG Admin Lahore, Imran Kishwar, has resigned from the police service, ARY News reported on Thursday.
In his resignation, he described his conscience weighed down by the stark realities of service.
Imran Kishwar said “I have upheld my oath with unyielding resolve, often at great personal cost, which has left me grappling with many unanswered questions, creating the unsettling internal dissonance”.
He said “I find myself at a crossroads where my continued service is neither feasible nor desirable. The reasons, though mine alone, are potent enough to sever the bond I once held sacred. Loyalty, when met with indifference or betrayal, ceases to be an obligation”.
