A: I don't remember but the arrested people were released, either under
section 169 Cr.P.C. or on bail, but they were released after his transfer to
Karachi.
Q: Can you give any reason why was the then IGP helpless in the case of your
transfer?
A: The general belief is that the chief minister ordered the postings and the
IGP thought that I was right, but he was helpless in the matter and could not
resist.
Q: What was the status of Zardari. Had he the status of chief minister,
minister of interior or home secretary?
A: He was only an MNA from Nawabshah and the husband of the prime
minister.
Q: According to you, Zardari could release anybody who was arrested.
A: At least not from me. Everybody else has his own point of view.
Q: Were many drug dens operated in the Nawabshah?
A: There were many dens of narcotics in Nawabshah district and in Daur
town.
Q: Were even females also involved?
A: Yes.
Q: The actual operation was under the charge of ASP Rao Tahir and ASP
Shahid and what was their experience in the past and had they taken part in
similar operations?

inducted in the police service and he had two years of experience. When one
is appointed as ASP directly, his next appointment is that of SP and for about
eight months he has been serving as ASP. When I took over as SSP in May
