WORDS OF THANKS
"When I look back on my police carrier, it gives me a great satisfaction about the series of successes, Allah Almighty bestowed upon me, one after the other. True as it is in the nature of policing, challenging times and tides came and went, but, with the blessings of Almighty Allah, I always came out unscathed and unhurt. Today I can claim that during my entire service in junior to senior capacities, introduced a new respect and dignity to the ranks I wear. So for I remember there is hardly any case or task assigned to me, which remained untraced or unresolved and proud to leave behind an endless legacy of professionals."
