A former district police officer (DPO) of Chitral has been accused of committing corruption to the tune of 3 to 4 crore rupees. Asif Iqbal Mohmand was posted to Chitral as DPO on January 12, 2016, and transferred to SSP Special Branch Peshawar on October 19. He has allegedly misused funds allocated for the police, according to sources.
It has been alleged that the former DPO did not distribute an amount of Rs 7.3 million released by Deputy Commissioner Chitral for payment as TA/DA among police personnel who were deployed during the polio campaigns in the district. Another allegation against the police officer was that he misused police funds set aside for fuel.
The former DPO has also been accused of selling a police land cruiser worth Rs 1.5 million through 'auction' to one of his close confidantes at a throwaway price of about Rs 300,000, which now he himself is personally using. It has been alleged that the former DPO withdrew about Rs 3.4 million from the police account in the name of a constable. And a team of auditors had also pointed out irregularities in the police accounts during the tenure of the ex-DPO.
When contacted, Asif Iqbal, in a text message said: "I'm sorry I'm in a family function. I don't know about any corruption allegation against me. Pls talk to me tomorrow." When this correspondent approached him again the next day, the phone was switched off. When he was contacted again, he sent a text message: "Well I can't stop you, go ahead as for my version I can only speak after getting permission from the IGP."
