SP suspended after brother’s arrest on terror links
LAHORE - Punjab Inspector General of Police Khan Baig on Thursday suspended the services of Deputy Director Elite Police Force, SP Kamran Adil, days after intelligence operatives raided his residence in Islamabad and recovered 130-kg explosives from his brother’s car.
Police sources claimed that Hammad Adil, brother of SSP Kamran Adil, managed to escape minutes before the raid at his house located in Bara Kahu. However, an intelligence official said that the brother of the senior police officer was arrested during successful action and the “militant” is being interrogated at an undisclosed location by intelligence agencies.
“On the orders of Inspector General of Police Punjab Khan Baig, Kamran Adil, Deputy Director Elite Police Force, is transferred and closed to Central Police Office,” a police spokesperson said on Thursday. Official sources said that the car (HK-522) was found with explosives in the gas-kit and doors in the house of Hammad Adil, the younger brother of the police officer.
On the other hand, the arrest of brother of the senior police officer on terror links is being debated widely on the social media across Pakistan. People are asking many questions from the State machinery.
“Now I ask people favouring Kamran Adil that he (Kamran) always knew everything then why did he never do anything about his brother (a terrorist), who lived with him when he was in Islamabad and worked in Islamabad police at a higher post?” Raja Mohsin asked the question on the Press-Pakistan blog.
A local news channel said that Hammad Adil’s family has accepted that he ran away six years ago since he had a terrorist mentality and he had got training as well. “Truth is this that Hammad Adil ran away many years ago but after a few months he came back home, where Kamran also lives,” a blogger familiar with the development claimed on the forum. The police raided the house and arrested Hammad red-handed from the same house in Bara Kahu in the Federal capital the other day.
“It is not just Hammad with the terrorist mentality but Kamran’s brother Adnan is also of the same mentality. He is also well-trained and of the same description like a terrorist,’ the blogger further revealed.
Now the family has started saving their back by saying that Hammad was a terrorist and ran away six years ago. “Where was this honest police officer, Kamran Adil, at that time? Why Kamran remained silent on his brother’s activities all the time? Why Kamran never informed the intelligence agencies?
According to social media reports, the victims, who had been kidnapped by militants in the past, were telling different high-ups including intelligence agencies, Chairman Standing Committee of the Ministry of Interior, and CM Shahbaz Sharif about this suspicious family but nobody pay heed to the victims claims. Despite repeated attempts made by this reporter, Kamran Adil was not available for his comment.

The Islamabad police on Saturday claimed to have foiled a terror bid by recovering a huge amount of explosive material from a car in the federal capital.
According to police sources, the explosive-laden car was recovered from the house of Hamad Adil in the Bhara Kahu area. Hamad is the younger brother of Superintendent Police (SP) Kamran Adil who is currently posted in Lahore.
Sources said the Bhara Kahu police recovered 170 kilogramme explosives from an Alto car bearing the registration number HK-505, which was parked at Adil Heights in the Kalma Town area.
A senior police officer said Hamad had been taken into police custody but the police was not in a position to say anything about the involvement of SP Kamran yet.
He said the police, along with the bomb disposal squad, raided Hamad’s house following reports from intelligence agencies.
The police officer said SP Kamran used to live at the house before shifting to Lahore but currently the house was being used by Hamad.
During the raid, police recovered explosive material, detonators and other equipments from the car. The explosive material was concealed in the gas cylinder and a secret compartment of the car, he said.
The Bhara Kahu police have registered an FIR against the Hamad.
Misuse of power by police officer LEAs probing links of SP with terrorist groups
* Sources confirm SP’s private torture cell in Bhara Kahu and emerging as a mafia in the area
By Ikram Junaidi
ISLAMABAD: The case of a person kidnapped after being deprived of his house allegedly by family of Superintendent of Police (SP) Kamran Adil has taken a new turn as law enforcement agencies (LEAs) has started investigation that if SP has links with Taliban or other terrorist groups.
Besides, it has been confirmed that calls for the ransom during the abduction of the man were made from Waziristan and at the time of Lal Masjid operation Adil was ASP city and used to sit just on duty 200 yards away from mosque, turning blind eye to vehicles of weapons entering the mosque.
A police officer of Inspector rank told Daily Times on condition of anonymity on that the SP had allegedly a private torture cell in limits of Bhara Kahu which is not unusual as in past Supreme Court (SC) had taken a suo moto regarding private torture cells of police and instructed police to inform public that they should inform court about the private torture houses.
While Adil was ASP city, residents of Bhara Kahu declared him and his family a ‘land mafia’ and blocked the main Murree Road, besides citizens also conducted press conferences against the family.
But despite all these malpractices relevant Police have been considering registering a first information report (FIR) against complainant to further pressurize him for a deal, it is learnt.
Raja Mohsin Khalid, the complainant, told Daily Times that family of a superintendent of police (SP) deprived him of house and after that magistrates at court were not willing to solve the case swiftly. He further said his family sold a house in Phulgaran to Sheikh Naseem Adil, father of SP Kamran Adil for Rs 5 million. But after paying Rs 1 million he got possession of house and refused to pay the remaining amount. Khalid said his father (Khalid Mehmood) was kidnapped and after paying ransom of Rs 2.75 million to kidnapers who used to call from Waziristan was released by the kidnappers, after passage of over three weeks. As incident happened in Bhara Kahu so he filed an application against Adil but police started favoring him and registered a report against unknown persons. He alleged that Adil was behind the kidnapping as he ran a bargain centre in Bhara Kahu and he had links with the suspected persons. He said police officials were not listening to him just because the party against him belonged to police and investigation officer also remained in touch with the SP.
Though the kidnappers had released Mehmood, police and court officials were not ready to record his statement. Hussain Bahadur who was badge fellow of SP Adil started influencing the issue and in the end gave in writing that application was mala fide and refused to record the statement.
An officer of a law enforcement agency requesting not to be named told this scribe that kidnappers were calling from Waziristan and involvement of family of SP in that case astonished law enforcement agencies because they were well aware that Adil was ASP city during Lal Masjid and he might have been providing cover to terrorists Agency has been considering that seriously, he said.
The inspector further said that most notable point was that according to rules police officers could not be deputed in area in which he had been brought up fending off the possibility of usage of power and position for favourites and against enemies. Kamran had lived in Bhara Kahu, studied at local college in H-8 and later was appointed as ASP city and got legal power to be used in his native town. He said Kamran and his family started grabbing the land and soon ‘Adil State’ came into being. As they were grabbing land so soon Adil Heights, Adil CNG, Adil Form House, Adil Showroom, Adil Academy and other business quickly surged. But later residents were allegedly used to deprived of land and as reaction people started protest against them and blocked the main Murree Road at a time and later on held a press conference against SP and his family but to no avail.
Sources further told that judicial enquiry should also be done to find out that how Adil State came into being and if that family had been involved in criminal activities as brother of Adil Adnan Adil had remained part of an outlaw organization which had influence over terrorists organizations in Afghanistan.
Deputy Commissioner Amer Ali Ahmed said complainant had come to his office but as relevant magistrate had declared the application mala fide so person should file an application in higher court because he had no have powers to order re-recording of statement.
SP Kamran Adil has links with TALIBAN or Other terrorist groups.

While Kamran Adil was ASP (city) Islamabad, residents of Bhara Kahu declared him and his family a ؟land mafia؟ and blocked the main Murree Road, besides citizens also conducted press conferences against the family. Later F.I.Rs were registered against the same citizens who did a press conference against Naseem Adil, Kamran Adil as at that time Kamran Adil was SP Rawalpindi.
But despite all these malpractices relevant Police have been considering registering a first information report (FIR)against complainant to further pressurize him (Raja Mohsin and my Father Khalid Mehmood) for a deal, it is learnt.

Kamran Adil was always a different kind of person . He had interests in persons like famous CDA labour union chief , he was more interested in seeing movies offering orange juice and watching laptop and meeting with odd persons. One day I heard per chance conversation with his father a property dealer and he seemed to be an obedient son and his father was regarded as the person behind his repeated troubles , allegations against him of Qabza activities is quite old . I seriously doubt he would allow his brother to store explosives in his own house but in this world every thing is possible. Like all ASPs except one a certain Mr.Muntazir posted after Lal Masjid episodes in AAbpara area had been very warm to Mafia and land grabbers and perhaps the current post holder Mr.Rizwan Gondal is no exception if not a top leader and supervisor of crime . When a policeman is found involved with explosives of this type attention must focus on "Agencies" local and foreign. If someone says that Mr.Kamran Adil was an asset for law and order there could not be a bigger lie.
