Faisal Shahkar appointed new Punjab IGP

Lahore: The Punjab government on Friday appointed Faisal Shahkar as the new Inspector General of Punjab Police shortly after Rao Sardar refused to continue serving on the post.

Rao Sardar has now been appointed as the IG of Railways Police.

The appointment was announced right before the Punjab chief minister run-off election after the ex-Punjab Inspector General of Police Rao Sardar and Chief Secretary Kamran Afzal refused to serve in the province.
