LAHORE: The tussle between SP (Investigations Cantt) Anoush Masood Chaudhry and her immediate boss SSP Investigations Abdul Ghaffar Qaisrani has not only exposed the poor command of CCPO Lahore Umar Sheikh but also the most trumpeted slogan of police reforms.
The language used by the said SP in a reply to a letter of advice, written by SSP Investigations, is too harsh and straight in terms of protocols of a disciplined force.
On Dec 5, the SSP Investigations had written a letter of advice to SP Anoush, highlighting her lack of interest in performing official duties. He advised her to improve her performance. The letter, a copy of which is available with The News, reads: “Cantt Division is an important and challenging division for policing. Hence, to gain quality performance, it requires proper hands-on supervision.

Mr Sheikh got upset during a meeting held late on Tuesday for an official matter and then suddenly ‘ordered’ Mr Qaisrani to leave the venue saying, “Your services are no more required to me”.
