DIG South Zone Karachi Final Show-Cause Notice to Head Constable Khalid Mehmood

The Office of the Deputy Inspector General of Police, South Zone, Karachi, has issued a final show-cause notice dated 3 November 2026 to Head Constable No. 27997 Khalid Mehmood, who is under suspension and attached to South Zone Headquarters, Karachi.

The notice concerns alleged misconduct, assistance to a wanted police constable, and unauthorized absence from duty. It refers to the following correspondence:

The allegations relate to Boat Basin Police Station FIR No. 726/2026, registered under Sections 302, 353, 324, 186 and 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code and Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act. The notice alleges that Khalid Mehmood concealed and provided shelter to Police Constable Sultan, posted in District City, Karachi, and assisted him in evading a police raid and arrest. These acts are described as obstruction of the law, criminal concealment, misuse of police authority and a serious breach of official duties.

A further charge states that Khalid Mehmood has remained absent from official duty without permission or intimation since 24 September 2026.

According to the report dated 30 October 2026, he neither appeared before the relevant police headquarters officers nor attended the orderly room proceedings concerning the show-cause notices. This conduct is treated as gross negligence and an extremely irresponsible attitude.

He is therefore given a final opportunity to appear before the issuing authority within seven days of receiving this notice and present his defence. Failure to comply will result in unilateral departmental action under the Efficiency and Discipline (E&D) Rules, 1988, including dismissal from service.

The notice is issued by Syed Asad Raza, PSP, Deputy Inspector General of Police, South Zone, Karachi. Publication reference: INF-KRY 5014-26.
