Mr. Haseeb Ahmed approached the Provincial Ombudsman Sindh Mr. Asad Ashraf Malik stating that he was son of a Police Officer who laid down his life in line of duty. He was appointed as Police Constable against shaheed (martyr) quota and was not considered for appointment as Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police, whereas 45 other persons were appointed as ASI under same quota and he was ignored & discriminated. He was eligible to be appointed as ASI as he fulfilled the required qualification. This was a glaring example of discrimination.
