A senior police officer in Karachi has been suspended after it was revealed that he spent over Rs 60 lacs during a lavish qawali night. The incident has sparked outrage among the public and officials alike, as the funds were allegedly drawn from sources not aligned with his known salary and official allowances.
The officer, whose name has not been disclosed, was reportedly seen showering large amounts of cash on performers during a high-profile qawali event at a private venue in Karachi. The extravagant display of wealth was captured on video and soon went viral on social media, with many questioning the source of the money.
The Karachi Police Department swiftly took action after the video spread, with senior officials confirming that an inquiry had been launched into the matter. In a statement, the department condemned the actions of the officer and assured the public that strict disciplinary measures would be taken. The officer has since been suspended pending a detailed investigation.
Critics have called for increased scrutiny over the spending of law enforcement personnel, urging for accountability regarding the origins of such lavish expenses. The incident has raised concerns over the misuse of public resources, with calls for the police to address the issue transparently.
This event comes amid growing concerns about corruption within public service departments, with citizens demanding greater oversight to ensure that funds are not misappropriated.
The investigation into the matter continues, and further details are expected in the coming days.
