PESHAWAR: Terming the current allocation insufficient for probing terror incidents and heinous crimes, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police have sent a proposal to the government for enhancing the cost of the investigation in cases of terrorism, murders, rape, kidnapping and other crimes.
The force demanded an increase of up to 3000 percent in some cases as the current rate for probing a rape case is only Rs4000 while for a kidnapping case it was only Rs2500.
A letter sent by Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police Operations Asif Iqbal on behalf of Inspector General of Police Sanaullah Abbasi to the secretary Home Department highlighted important areas pertaining to the financial management of the force.
