Karachi [Pakistan], March 12 (HBTV): A Pakistani deputy superintendent of police, Ahmed Karim Jilani, has found himself in legal trouble after being apprehended in the act of smuggling Gutka and various drugs, as reported by ARY News. 

In response to the incident, Sindh Inspector General of Police Riffat Mukhtar promptly took action, suspending DSP Ahmed Karim Jilani and instructing him to report to the Central Police Office. 

Customs officials intercepted and arrested DSP Jilani near Jamshoro during the illicit transportation of Gutka and other drugs, according to ARY News.

Taking further steps, Mukhtar initiated an inquiry against the suspended DSP, designating DIG Mirpurkhas Tanveer Alam Odho as the inquiry officer. The IGP emphasized the need for a transparent investigation and set a 15-day deadline for the submission of the inquiry report.
