Four policemen arrested as over 52 tolas of gold go missing from Sindh police station

Police have arrested four officers after 52.5 tolas of gold held as evidence vanished from a police station in Shaheed Benazirabad, Sindh, according to Profit by Pakistan Today. The precious metal was kept in the malkhana, a storeroom for seized items and evidence, at the A-Section police station. The authorities have opened a case against the four men, who have been taken into custody.

Shaheed Benazirabad Senior Superintendent of Police Dr Sameer Noor Channa said early inquiries pointed to carelessness and possible complicity by officers. Sindh Inspector General of Police Javed Alam Odho has requested a full account from the district's DIG and ordered a transparent, impartial probe into how the gold disappeared.

The IGP has also told investigators to locate the missing items and to pursue legal and departmental action against anyone found responsible. He warned that failures in safeguarding case property and misuse of official power will not be tolerated.
