ISLAMABAD – Punjab Inspector General (IG) Dr Kaleem Imam on Thursday appointed SSP Maria Mahmood as the new District Police Officer of Pakpattan in place of Rizwan Umar Gondal, who was reportedly transferred after an altercation with the first lady’s former husband, a private news channel reported on Thursday.
As per the notification, Maria Mahmood was earlier serving as SSP Rawalpindi Investigation. She has been directed to take charge with immediate effect.
On August 23, police personnel tried to intercept Khawar Maneka at a checkpoint when he was coming from Pakpattan.
However, when he did not stop they chased him down.
It was said that Khawar misbehaved with the personnel and hurled expletives at them when they stopped him.
Following the incident, the Punjab government asked Gondal to seek an apology from Khawar, but the former refused to say the police was not at fault.
