SDPO Sumbal has been appointed by PDP to harass common people especially those who are National Conference workers. He tortures innocent people and in the garb of militancy, the said SDPO is giving third degree torture to them, he said and added that if SDPO Sumbal is not transferred from the area, the people will took to streets and will start an agitation against the government.
When contacted SDPO Sumbal, Rashid Akbar told CNS that people are the best judge and, they can tell you what I am. Why should I harass anybody? I dont understand what I have done, he said.
Meanwhile, Muslim League General Secretary Abdul Ahad Parra said that the SDPO Sumbal has been harassing and torturing the Muslim League workers. The SDPO Sumbal has been arresting the father instead of son. Which law permits him to do so?
