Islamabad: The case of the alleged entry of six Afghan nationals into the diplomatic area of the federal capital has come to light, after which questions have been raised about the procedures and implementation of security regulations for the diplomatic shuttle service.
According to sources, the said persons were allegedly allowed to enter the area along with mobile phones, although they did not have Pakistani visas or other legal travel documents.
Sources claim that strict instructions were issued to the DMA staff in view of the security high alert in the red zone, while special precautions are required due to security concerns related to the diplomatic enclave and the Saudi embassy.
According to the available information, questions have also been raised regarding the role of Faizan Sheikh, Inspector Imran Satti and Supervisor Babar Parvez, who were transferred on 16th of October in this regard.
However, the responsibility, possible negligence or violation of any regulation by these officials can be determined only after examining the relevant records, duty logs, entry records and other evidence. It has also been claimed by the sources that on the return of the said persons, instead of handing them over to the police or taking any formal action, they were allegedly made to sit there and later allowed to leave.
Similarly, an allegation of alleged financial transactions worth millions of rupees has also come to light in this matter, however, reliable evidence must be available to independently verify this claim.
In addition, it has been learned that on Saturday, September 12, despite being a holiday, only one electric bus was operated and it allegedly carried some Afghan families who were taken to the diplomatic area.
However, it is not clear who their guests were or whether they returned. But this is a big question mark over the security of the diplomatic.
