RIP. It's such a big loss.

 

[TaimiKhan]

He was a brave police officer who led from the front against the militants when he was heading Peshawar Police and later Frontier Constabulary and achieved many successes against the militants.

One of the bravest officers I have seen and a very very big loss to Pakistan for losing such a brave officer.

May Allah give peace to his soul and courage to his family to bear this loss, Ameen

A great tragedy for Pakistan which has lost a very brave officer.
