On May 18, Inspector General of Police (IG) Sindh Mushtaq Mahar was removed from his post on the directives of Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah over the ongoing wave of terrorist acts in Karachi.

Mushtaq Mahar was directed to report to the establishment division and a BPS-21 officer Dr. Kamran Fazal has been given additional charge of the top slot of the police in the Sindh province.

The names of Mohsin Butt and Ghulam Nabi Memon were initially considered for new Inspector General of Police Sindh. “Kamran Fazal will remain IG until his retirement,” the sources at that time said.
