Sale of drugs is crime on this side of the road and permissible on the other. Tribesmen from Darra Adam Khail in Frontier Region (FR) Kohat have asked the provincial police chief to restrict SHO Mattani police station from raiding areas out of the police station’s jurisdiction. A representative body of the tribal people in FR Kohat, Akhurwal Union, alleged that SHO Ibrahim Khan was crossing the boundary line between the settled and tribal areas and arresting people. “The crimes for which SHO Ibrahim is arresting our people are out of his jurisdiction,” Akhurwal Union Chairman Malak Lal Saeed told The Express Tribune. Ibrahim said that drug trafficking, sale and abuse have spiralled out of control creating a social and economic mess.
