  1. The DPO should carry out a thorough probe into the performance of SHO. The day he has been posted there, crime rate has increased manifold.

  2. I was very sorry to read the comment by Nasirullah about the SHO. I have found him to be an honest police officer who took action against drug paddlers and law breakers. The whole matter should be investigated impartially.
