The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) government has decided to replace Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr Naeem Khan, according to local media reports that surfaced on Tuesday.
According to reports, the decision has been taken in light of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s “dissatisfaction” with Dr Naeem’s performance whereas the Establishment Division has sent three names to replace the provincial IGP, including senior police officers Muhammad Tahir, Sanaullah Abbasi and Muhammad Suleman.
Further, Dr Naeem would be placed as an officer on special duty once a new IGP is notified.
Moreover, the Establishment Division will issue a summary in this regard following the premier’s final decision on who should occupy the IGP’s seat.
It may be noted here that the government had appointed Dr Naeem as KP IGP in February 2019 as a replacement for Salahuddin Mehsud.
