ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – The Chief Justice of Pakistan on Thursday took suo motu notice of the transfer of DPO Pakpattan after reportedly on the orders of the former husband of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s wife, Khawar Maneka.

A three-member bench of the apex court headed by CJP Mian Saqib Nisar will hear the case on tomorrow (Friday).

The SC has summoned Pakpattan DPO Rizwan Umar Gondal, Inspector General Punjab Police Kaleem Imam, and the Regional Police Officer in a personal capacity.

Earlier, DPO Rizwan Umar Gondal’s transfer sparked a controversy this week, as speculation suggested that the police officer was transferred because of the August 23 altercation between the police and Khawar Maneka.
