SHC censures Sindh police performance in missing persons’ cases

The Sindh High Court (SHC) asked on Thursday for the progress report on pleas pertaining to more than 100 missing persons from the home department, police and other relevant departments by April 25.

A two-member bench comprising Justice Naimatullah Phulpoto and Justice KK Agha while hearing the case of missing persons criticised the police performance. Justice Phulpoto remarked that many years have passed but the police failed to trace the whereabouts of the missing persons. He asked the police officers where the missing persons had disappeared to or were they in graves. “Where have they gone?” He said that the investigation officers (IOs) aren’t competent enough to be employed. Families are crying and they curse in courts while the police officers roam around with files. He added that such personnel shouldn’t even be in the police.
