He was my neighbour in #Khanpur and a police officer with a different approach. PM @ImranKhanPTI appointed him as CCPO Lhr but couldn't resist the pressure and removed him soon. pic.twitter.com/u6mpdikalJ
Mr Sheikh completed Digital Forensic and Cyber Law courses from USA’s George Washington University. He remained deputed at many coveted posts in the police department as well as in Intelligence Bureau and NACTA.
During his decades-long service, he served as a District Police Officer in Dera Ghazi Khan, DPO Jamshoro, Jacobabad Nawabshah, and Larkana. He worked for seven years at the Intelligence Bureau, and for four years at the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington.
In 2020, the former cop was appointed as CCPO Lahore but was removed over controversies related to his leaked audio conversation and derogatory remarks which even caused outrage.
