KARACHI: An investigation report revealed that the Bin Qasim police were aware of oil theft from Pak-Arab Refinery Company (PARCO) supply line.
According to the investigation officer, the special branch had issued an information report to Bin Qasim police officials regarding the oil theft from PARCO supply line two months ago but instead of taking action, the Bin Qasim Police hid the report.
The IO further revealed that the report contained complete details of the suspects Zahid and his associates – who died while stealing oil from an oil supply line last week.
It is worth mentioning here that the police arrested three accused who were attempting to hide the bodies of two men who died while stealing oil from a PARCO supply line.
Following the arrests, DIG East has established a team to interrogate the three arrested suspects. However, during the investigation, DSP Sohrab Goth recorded the statement of the suspects.
During the interrogation, one of the arrested suspects, Zubair, stated that he is only a driver and was there on the call of Aitezaz. However, in his statement, Zabir denied any knowledge of the oil theft from the PARCO pipeline and claimed that Aitezaz ran as soon as he saw the police.
Sources revealed further evidence of police misconduct stated that the Bin Qasim Police removed the name of Aitezaz from the First Information Report (FIR) in exchange of heavy bribes.
Meanwhile, Deputy Superintendent Police (DSP) Bin Qasim released the brother of the fugitive accused Dilawar after investigation.
