LAHORE: IG Police Punjab Tariq Saleem Dogar has replaced Regional Police Officer (RPO) Gujranwala Zulfiqar Cheema with Tariq Masood Yasin, Geo News reported Monday.

Zulfiqar Cheema has been appointed DIG Welfare.

RPO Tariq Masood was earlier serving as DIG Traffic Lahore in Gujranwala Division.

According to sources, the transfer of Zulfiqar Cheema has been undertaken in the backdrop of the murders of two teenaged brothers in Sialkot.

Zulfiqar Cheema’s one of the brothers is Justice (Retd.) Iftikhar Cheema who is an MNA with affiliation to Pakistan Muslim League-N.

Zulfiqar Cheema was appointed RPO following PML-N’s formation of government in Punjab.

Cheema is considered a champion of police encounters. During his tenure, a number police encounters took place in which proclaimed criminals such as Nanhu Guraya, Asim Wado, Ahmedi Nat, Kala Gujar and Ishaque Kana were taken out. The bodies of some of the criminals were paraded on streets when he served as RPO.

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif had lauded Zulfiqar Cheema’s services on several occasions in the past.
