The suspended SSP left for Islamabad on the morning of January 20 via a Pakistan International Airlines flight, the letter states, adding that he also attempted to escape to Dubai on January 23.

The IGP not only carried out raids in different areas for the suspended SSP’s arrest, but also wrote to his counterparts in Punjab, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Subsequently, the chief justice of Pakistan gave a deadline of three days to Sindh police for Anwar’s arrest, who was suspended from his position of SSP Malir after the incident.
