Sindh’s Inspector General of Police (IGP) Javed Alam Odho has taken action on complaints of security lapses, negligence in duties, mismanagement, and financial and physical losses in connection with the US Consulate incident.
Following an investigation into Sunday’s incident, after an investigation, Keamari police chief SSP Amjad Shaikh was recommended to be suspended. The Keamari SDPO, the Docks, SITE-B, KPT and Jackson SHOs, and the Foreign Security Cell in charge were also suspended after being found negligent in performing their duties, with departmental enquiries initiated against them.
With demonstrators breaching the outer security cordon of the US consulate and vandalising the property, at least 10 protesters lost their lives in Karachi during a demonstration outside the US consulate in the aftermath of the martyrdom of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US-Israeli strikes in the early hours of Sunday, amid an ongoing war that has expanded across the Middle East.
