IG Punjab to initiate investigation as soon as the case is registered.

Lahore -- Inspector General of Police Punjab Inam Ghani has said that under the free registration of crime policy, the investigation of every crime should start immediately as soon as the case is registered.

Therefore, immediately after the registration of the case, the case should be handed over to the concerned investigating officer for initiating investigation while delay or negligence at any level in handing over the case to the investigating officer immediately will not be tolerated in any case.

He further said that the police team should ensure all possible cooperation with the plaintiff for the satisfaction of the case and with due diligence, sincerity and effective use of modern technology, the case should be worked out in a timely manner and accused should be taken behind bars so that relationship between the police and the citizens may be improved and strengthened.

He further said that the supervisory officers should ensure digital and close monitoring through the monitoring dashboard of the investigation process of each case registered and the concerned investigating officer should be strictly questioned in case of unnecessary delay. He further said that the approved number of Sub-Inspectors, ASIs, Head Constables and Constables in the Investigation Wing should be taken into consideration while focusing on arresting the accused in serious cases, especially A-category accused.

He stressed that the cases in which the accused are getting immediate bail should be taken as a case study and all the stages should be carefully reviewed and shortcomings should be identified so that the shortcomings of the investigation can be overcome and the sentencing process could be further improved.

He further said that crime can be curbed only by keeping the accused involved in robbery, theft and dacoity cases away from the highways, therefore the rate of work out of cases should be improved along with the free registration of crime.

He expressed these views while presiding over a high-level meeting on the working of Lahore Police at the Central Police Office here today.
