IGP suspends DSP after his naked video emerges

- BY TARIQ BUTT

ISLAMABAD: Punjab police on Saturday arrested two members of a gang involved in blackmaili­ng people after filming them nude.

The police said they lodged a case against two members of the 5-men group in Gujranwala.

The police seized mobile phones of the suspects that contained objectiona­ble videos of several people.

The Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) ordered suspension of Deputy Superinten­dent of Police (DSP) Rana Nadeem Tariq after his objectiona­ble video and pictures emerged few days ago.

TRAPPED

Meanwhile, Tariq has submitted a written statement to the police claiming that he was trapped by the suspects whom he had booked in four cases while serving in Mandi Bahauddin for fraud, deceit and looting people after making their objectiona­ble videos.

After detailing the cases he registered against Shehzad Hassan and unnamed suspects, the DSP wrote the suspects became vengeful after being charge-sheeted by him

He said on Feb.26 he went to Gujranwala to attend a marriage ceremony with the permission of the district police officer.

The suspended DSP said from Gujranwala he went to Mandi Bahauddin to offer Fateha at Amanullah Gondal’s place. During his stay there, he said he contacted an informant Noman and informed him about his presence in Mandi Bahuddin.

He said Noman asked for a meeting during which he promised to pass on some informatio­n.

Tariq said he went to meet Noman on a private car at a venue where he had asked him to come for the meeting. He said after spotting Shehzad Hassan’s car at the venue of the meeting, he became suspicious and expressed his desire to leave. He said Noman insisted on serving him a cup of tea which tested odd.

“After taking some sips I stopped drinking tea and expressed my desire to leave.”

Guessing his intention, Noman either called someone or gave a miscall after which three men entered the room and overpowere­d him before stripping him naked. He said Noman took off his own clothes and garbed him in order to record the video.
