KARACHI: At least four police officers from Sindh’s Sakrand police station were arrested on Tuesday and two others were suspended after the provincial police chief took notice of cricketer Sohaib Maqsood’s allegations of bribery and extortion. The latest development was confirmed by DIG Shaheed Benizarabad District Pervaiz Chandio. The incident near Sakrand came to public attention when the cricketer criticised the provincial police in a post on X (formerly Twitter), branding them as “corrupt.” In his post on Monday night, Maqsood said that while travelling from Karachi to Multan by road, he was stopped by the police who demanded money. However, in his post, the cricketer did not specify the exact location. Later, while speaking to a private news channel, he clarified that the incident took place on an isolated road near Sakrand. “We informed them that we are international cricketers heading to Multan after our match in Karachi, yet they took Rs8,000 from us before allowing us to proceed,” he claimed in the post. Furthermore, Maqsood stated that the police also threatened to take them to the police station. He remarked, “We are fortunate to live in Punjab and not in Sindh.”
