Ghulam Nabi Memon has been appointed as the Inspector General (IG) of Sindh Police for the second time, as per a notification issued by the federal government on Sunday.
Sources privy to the development said the federal government, upon the recommendation of the Sindh government, has opted for a change in leadership, replacing Rafat Mukhtar Raja with Ghulam Nabi Memon as the IG Sindh.
In light of this development, Rafat Mukhtar Raja, the outgoing IG Sindh, has been directed by the federal government to report to the Establishment Division.
Notably, the provincial Interior Minister, Zia Linjar, had raised concerns regarding the delay in appointing the desired candidate for the top policing role.
This delay prompted Linjar to voice the Sindh government's discontent to the federal authorities.
After a lapse of 20 days since the initial recommendation, the formal notification to appoint Ghulam Nabi Memon has finally been issued, putting an end to the speculation surrounding the leadership of Sindh Police.
Ghulam Nabi Memon, known for his extensive experience and proven track record in law enforcement, has previously held pivotal positions within the Sindh Police hierarchy.
Moreover, in addition to his role as IG Sindh, Ghulam Nabi Memon has been entrusted with key responsibilities including Additional IG Karachi, Director Intelligence Bureau Karachi, DIG South, SSP Ghotki, Khairpur, Larkana, Malir, and other significant districts, further amplifying his influence within the law enforcement domain.
