Cops bent knees against gamblers

KARACHI - Several police officers have become careful after being dogged by the influential gamblers.

Source relevant to the matter told that number of cases had been reported in which senior police officers had been punished and demoted when they took action against the influential gamblers.

DSP Javaid Iqbal Bhatti had raided the City’s biggest gambling den situated in Phase 2, DHA. Bhatti was the SPO at Clifton at that time; he could not arrest any of them because all of the gamblers had escaped from the scene before the arrival of police.

Bhatti barged into the apartment and seized the gambling stuff like computers and telephone sets while the owner Ishtiaq who runs the gambling point in Clifton, registered an FIR against Bhatti and four ASIs and other police party. Bhatti was later transferred and suspended but his experience make him more conscious for the future.
