The registration of fake weapons licences seems to continue unabated, but what’s alarming is the name of a senior administration official being used to create such licences by the district administration’s own arms licencing branch (ALB).
It was revealed that two licences of prohibited bores were issued in the name of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Muhammad Ali. A probe into the scandal is under way.
The issue surfaced when an intelligence agency official met the DC and informed him that the business of issuance of fake licences was going on right under his very nose.
