National Highway and Motorway Police initiates fact-finding process against representatives for showing leniency to TV anchor
ISLAMABAD: The National Highway and Motorway Police (NHMP) has initiated a fact-finding fact-finding process against its representatives for allegedly showing leniency to a well-known television anchorperson, Mansoor Ali Khan, after he was intercepted for over-speeding on the motorway.
According to official sources, the event occurred on February 28 when a motorway security monitoring customs levy team was conducting speed-checking near Chakri Interchange 310 at around 5:30pm.
During the protection action, representatives detected a vehicle travelling at 166 kilometres per hour, well above the prescribed speed limit.
The security monitoring customs levy team, comprising Inspector Police Waseem Murtaza and Sub-Inspector Saadat Hassan, signalled the vehicle to stop. However, the driver allegedly did not stop at that point and continued driving.
Later, the vehicle was intercepted near Islamabad by Inspector Police Faraz Mehdi, who managed to stop the car and identify the driver. According to the preliminary account, the officer initially did not recognise the driver.
Sources stated Inspector Azhar Latif also reached the spot shortly afterwards. It was at that stage that the driver was allegedly recognised as television anchor Mansoor Ali Khan.
