Islamabad: Jan 16, 2022 (TNS): Crime has increased after the appointment of IG Islamabad Mohammad Ahsan Younis in the capital. Poor performance of Islamabad police has created problems for the citizens. Safe City claims have remained unsubstantiated. Islamabad has become a paradise for criminals and a hell for its citizens. In the federal capital Islamabad, robbers carried out two robberies in police uniforms and deprived citizens of valuables and foreign currency. According to sources, all the claims made by the Model Police to provide protection to the citizens are proving to be false. Two robberies in federal police uniform have been revealed in Kohsar area of Islamabad police station. The suspects stopped both vehicles for a search and introduced themselves as police officers.

Meanwhile, near Saudi Pak Tower, three alleged officials looted 24 2,400 from a family and fled.
Citizens who lodged the FIR said that the accused were wearing police uniforms and had wireless. The entire system has deteriorated due to recommended appointments in Islamabad police. The investigative system is also not functioning properly due to recommended appointments. If one officer had been posted, he would have been replaced by another. The latest example of this is the re-deployment of Sabzi Mandi police station on political grounds only a few hours after the suspension due to poor performance of SHO, due to which crime in Islamabad is getting out of control and the police department is only engaged in exchanges. There have been about four police encounters in the last two weeks, with robberies and thefts on the rise. The IG conducts open chats, assures the people of justice. The next day, the dacoits again commit dacoity in broad daylight, challenging the police, and the police arrive at the scene after the dacoits have left.
In the first fortnight of the year in Islamabad alone, the crime graph has increased more than last year. In more than 50 cases of robbery, burglary, robbery, theft, fraud and treason, in addition to cash, jewelry and other valuables worth millions of rupees, 5 cars and 10 motorcycles were blown up. Last year, 400 people were injured , while motorcycles of 3,000 people were stolen in Islamabad. While 2174 incidents of robbery and robbery and 500 incidents of theft and burglary were reported. In 2022, Islamabad Police has also registered 84 cases of old incidents. No FIR has been registered in the past several incidents and it is said that only police rupt will be registered. A senior journalist’s pocket was cut during shopping in Police station Aabpara area when reached for at Police station Aabpara Islamabad he was told by front desk official that In order to reduce the crime rate in Islamabad, FIRs minors cases are not registered on the instructions of IG Islamabad. Instead of preventing such incidents, the citizens are kept away by showing the incidents of lost . Citizens in Islamabad are protecting themselves invisibly, it should be noted that a few days ago, Federal Minister for Railways Azam Swati also spoke against Islamabad police. Muhammad Ahsan Younis has been appointed IG Islamabad in place of Qazi Jameel-ur-Rehman but Islamabad police has not been able to control crime so far. More than 1100 cameras were installed on all major highways of Islamabad under Safe City project.
According to police sources, at present 35% of the cameras are faulty and only 65% are working. It should be noted that DIG Operations Islamabad Afzal Ahmad Kausar in a media briefing has revealed that Safe City cameras cover only 30% of Islamabad, not the entire federal capital. The Safe City plan has been the subject of debate for over a decade, with the ruling parties constantly claiming that the federal capital, Islamabad, has been protected from criminal elements. It is unfortunate that due to the rising crime in the city in recent days, the question has once again arisen in the minds of the citizens as to how and why the criminal elements are succeeding in the presence of the Safe City project. The newly appointed Inspector General (IG) of Islamabad Police Muhammad Ahsan Younis has changed his entire team. For the new team, 11 officers of DIG, SSP and SP posts have been transferred while 9 officers from Punjab have been posted in Islamabad. Grade 20 officer Muhammad Saleem has been transferred and posted in National Highways and Motorways Police while Grade 20 officer Waqaruddin Syed’s services have been handed over to Gilgit-Baltistan government. The two officers made the transfer due to the appointment of Ahsan Younis, who is younger than them.On the other hand, Owais Ahmed, a Grade 20 officer posted in Gilgit-Baltistan and Jahanzeb Nazir Khan, a Grade 20 officer posted in the Punjab government have been transferred and posted in Islamabad Police.
