ISLAMABAD: The capital police have started taking action against its officials who refused to perform duties in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB).
The officials are being subjected to major punishment, including dismissal from service, and a constable has been sacked.
According to a document, available with Dawn, Constable Ahmad Ali presently posted to Capital Patrols was charged with inefficiency and misconduct. It said all nominated officials were directed by the competent authority to report to the Police Lines Headquarters for deployment on the AJK election duty.
“However, despite having been duly informed and directed, the said Constable willfully and deliberately refused to comply with the lawful orders and declined to proceed for the assigned election duty. Furthermore, he failed to report as directed on multiple occasions, deliberately absented himself from duty, and persistently disobeyed the lawful orders issued by competent authority. His conduct demonstrated a clear disregard for discipline, obedience, and the chain of command, which are fundamental obligations of a member of the police force. By intentionally refusing to perform the assigned duty, absenting himself without lawful justification, and disobeying the orders of the competent authority and senior officers, the said Constable violated the prescribed Government Servants (Conduct) Rules and departmental discipline,” the document stated.
