F.P. Report

LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar warned DIG Ghulam Mehmood Dogar for contacting to request favor from the Supreme Court judge on Sunday.

CJP had summoned DIG Dogar before the Supreme Court and also warned the police officer for asking unjustifiable favor in the case.

Top judge Nisar questioned the police officer that why you contacting his family members for seeking favor and remarked that how you dare to approach my son-in-law in this regard.

He also summoned his son-in-law Khalid Rehman to appear before the court and record his statement in the case.

Rehman informed the court that DIG Dogar, who is currently fighting a custody case of his children against his ex-wife, asked him for a favor and adding that police officer wants to put the names of his former wife and children on the Exit Control List (ECL).

Later, the DIG submitted an unconditional apology to the court as did the son-in-law.

Last year, DIG Dogar’s former wife Mirjam Aberras Lahdeaho had filed a petition in the Lahore High Court seeking recovery of her sons from Dogar’s custody.

In the petition, she stated that she was a citizen of Finland and Canadian national and married Dogar 31 years ago. The petitioner said she had three children with him, namely elder daughter Zara, and two sons, Ghulam Qasim Dogar and Ghulam Jafar Dogar.

Dogar had asked Aberras to send the children to Pakistan to spend the holidays with him last year. She sent all three children home and then the DIG allegedly refused to let them fly back to Canada.
