Remembering an untainted officer
May 13, 2021
One isn’t aware of any other cop in Pakistan who served as the inspector general of police of three provinces. It is also rare to find a policeman who commanded the Frontier Constabulary as well as the National Police Academy and remained a federal secretary, caretaker provincial minister and inspector general of prisons.
Muhammad Abbas Khan, who died recently at the age of 82 due to Covid-19, held all these positions and achieved a lot more in an illustrious career.
He served as the police chief of his native Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as well as Punjab and Sindh. In fact, he served twice as the IGP of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), known at the time as NWFP, once from November 1985 to June 1988 and then from January 1989 to September 1990.
