The Punjab police has said that Rawalpindi Regional Police Officer (RPO) Syed Khurram Ali submitted a request for 14-day leave on January 17.

“A formal summary in this regard was sent to the Chief Minister Punjab Office on January 30,” the police spokesperson said in a post on X.

“The Punjab government approved the 14-day leave of Rawalpindi RPO Syed Khurram Ali based on the recommendations of the summary,” the spokesperson said.

The post said that a notification, a copy of which was shared with the post, had been issued allowing the RPO to proceed on leave from February 18 to March 2.

It should be mentioned that the development comes a day after Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chattha accused the Election Commission of Pakistan and Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa of involvement in ‘rigging’ the Feb 8 polls — a claim denied by the electoral watchdog and the top judge.
