PESHAWAR – The Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar has ordered the Inspector General Police, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Salahuddin Mehsud to withdraw security from all unauthorised officials by midnight today.
The directives came on Wednesday as the top police official appeared before the Peshawar registry of the supreme court during the hearing of cases related to public affairs.
During the hearing, Mehsud informed the court that 3,000 police personnel were deployed for the protection of non-essential officials in the violence-battered province.
Earlier, when the top cop appeared before the bench, the top judge remarked that he had heard a lot about Mehsud, adding that the province witnessed a lot of bloodshed in the fight against terrorism.

In his whirlwind tour, the apex court judge inspected the Al Razi Medical College and ordered the Federal Investigation Agency to seize the record of the Institute for taking exorbitant fees from students.
