OKARA – A senior police officer has been suspended over a woman’s claims that he assaulted and raped her, authorities confirmed on Sunday.

On this, District Police Officer (DPO), Omer Saeed Malik, ordered an official inquiry and formed a committee to probe the allegations and suspended Inspector Zia until the report has not been completed.
The committee would carry out the investigation and present a report in three days, a spokesperson for Okara police said.
