The National Highway and Motorway Police (NHMP) has launched a fact-finding inquiry after allegations surfaced that officials showed leniency toward a prominent television anchor during a traffic violation incident.
According to official sources, the inquiry relates to an incident involving TV anchor Mansoor Ali Khan, who was reportedly stopped for over-speeding on the motorway near Islamabad.
The incident reportedly took place on February 28 at around 5:30 pm, when a motorway patrol team was conducting routine speed checks near Chakri Interchange (310).
During the operation, authorities detected a vehicle with registration number BQB-79 traveling at a speed of 166 kilometres per hour, significantly above the permitted speed limit on the motorway.
The patrol team, which included Inspector Police Waseem Murtaza and Sub-Inspector Saadat Hassan, signalled the vehicle to stop.
However, according to reports, the driver allegedly failed to stop at the checkpoint and continued driving.
The vehicle was later intercepted near Islamabad by Inspector Police Faraz Mehdi, who managed to stop the car and verify the identity of the driver.
Officials later confirmed that the driver was television anchor Mansoor Ali Khan.
Following the incident, questions were raised regarding whether proper legal procedures were followed or if the officials involved showed leniency in handling the traffic violation.
In response to these concerns, the National Highway and Motorway Police initiated a formal inquiry to review the conduct of the officers involved.
Authorities have stated that the investigation will determine whether the officers acted according to official rules and regulations.
The inquiry is part of NHMP’s effort to maintain transparency, accountability, and equal enforcement of traffic laws for all citizens regardless of their social status.
Officials emphasized that strict action will be taken if any irregularities are found during the investigation.
The case has attracted public attention as it raises broader questions about fairness in law enforcement and the consistent application of traffic rules.
