Capital City Police Officer (CCPO), Ghulam Mahmood Dogar, has announced that the owners and drivers of vehicles in Lahore are prohibited from using tinted glass and squads of private gunmen.
The newly-appointed CCPO expressed his resolve to maintain law and order in the provincial capital in his maiden talk with the media after taking charge of his office.
“This culture of driving tinted cars and moving with private squads will not be tolerated anymore in the city,” he told reporters outside the Lahore High Court (LHC) where he had been summoned to explain the poor performance of the investigating officers.

The CCPO also remarked that the police have a special focus on sexual abuse crimes, and especially on those involving minors, adding that such cases should be dealt with as test cases. He also suggested that schools and parents set standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the use of the internet by children.
He further claimed that the crime graph of the provincial capital has reduced and that people will notice the difference very soon.
“This city belongs to us, and the dacoits and thieves had better leave it or face the consequences,” he declared.
What will you do to those roaming around with a vigo full of guards and carrying guns? Do you have courage of lodging FIR against their owners or will you lodge FIR against the mindless guard and eventually protect the main culprit?
If I remember correctly, 3-4 years ago, there was a kid shot dead by a private guard on vigo in DHA Lahore and the FIR was logged against the guard and not the owner! Do you think this time you will lodge FIR against the ‘malik’ and not the guard?
Do you mean, that if lets say, Malik Riaz travels with his private guards in Lahore, you will lodge a FIR against Malik Riaz and not the guards and put Malik Riaz behind the bars? Do you have that courage? I don’t think so.
Please know your place before giving such statements, know where you belong. Accept that and don’t give false hope to the dishonoured people of Pakistan.
