The funeral prayer of Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Maqsood Ali Khan, who embraced martyrdom after sustaining critical injuries when a loaded vehicle overturned on him while performing traffic duty on Srinagar Highway, was offered at Police Lines Headquarters on Sunday.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, senior police officers and a large number of police personnel attended the funeral prayer and paid tribute to the martyred ASI for his sacrifice in the line of duty.
ASI Maqsood Ali Khan had sustained serious head injuries and multiple fractures in his legs in the accident at Police Lines Chowk on Srinagar Highway.
He was performing traffic duty when a fruit-laden vehicle reportedly suffered brake failure, collided with another vehicle and overturned on him. He was immediately shifted to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for emergency treatment.
Despite medical treatment, the ASI later succumbed to his injuries.
IGP Rizvi and other police officers paid tribute to the martyred official and expressed solidarity with his bereaved family.
IGP Rizvi said Islamabad Police would take every possible care of the martyr’s family and ensure all possible support from the department.
He said the police force stood with the bereaved family and would continue to support them.
