Sindh Inspector General (IG) Allah Dino Khawaja's forced leave is due to end on January 2. According to details, he will be resuming his duties from January 3. A D Khawaja was sent on forced leave on December 19 after which the responsibilities of Sindh IG were handed over to Additional IG Mushtaq Mehar.
The decision was taken by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah few days before the arrival of PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari. Differences emerged between A D Khawaja and the ruling authorities over the issue of recruitments and appointments in Sindh Police, sources told.
