KARACHI: Justice Aftab Ghorur of the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday remarked that the province’s crime rate will fall in a day if Punjab police were to be deployed in Sindh. A divisional bench of SHC comprising Justice Aftab Ghorur and Justice Amjad Ali Sahto heard a petition against increasing incidents of crimes in the province. The petitioner’s counsel Muzamil Mumtaz argued that incidents of crime are on the rise in the province once again. Justice Aftab expressed anger over the police on not submitting a reply in the petition and remarked that it is painful seeing the rampant crimes in the province. Later, the bench ordered the Singh Inspector General of Police (IGP) to present a report on the matter by February 19.
