ISLAMABAD: As the official version of the police about the raid on PTI chief Gohar Ali Khan`s house in the capital remains under intense scrutiny, the police chief has suspended four police officials deployed at the Supreme Court over their `failure` to intercept the media persons approaching IGP Akbar Nasir Khan during his appearance at the apex court on Saturday.

The IGP had been summoned by the top court in connection with a police raid at PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan`s house in Sector F-7, where he was interviewed by reporters which was also uploaded on social media.

Officials of the capital police told Dawn that the four officials were suspended on the directives of IGP Khan, who expressed displeasure and scolded the policemen over their failure to stop the journalists. Police spokesperson Taqi Jawad confirmed the suspension of policemen deployed at the top court.

He added the officials were suspended from duty due to some disciplinary reasons. When asked to elaborate, he responded that the police officials were removed from duty due to `some uniform issue`.
