Bushra Maneka’s ex-husband Khawar Maneka has been making the headlines quite a bit lately because of his semi-celebrity status for being the first lady’s first husband.
His latest feature in the headlines, however, is not for anything positive. In fact, it’s for something which you would think Khawar Maneka stood against, considering he is an ardent supporter of Naya Pakistan.
Khawar Maneka has been accused of abusing the police, trying to evade being stopped at a checkpoint.
DPO #PakPattan Rizwan Gondal transferred after local police reportedly stopped Khawar Maneka, former husband of the First Lady, at a Checkpost.
Inquiry being held by #PunjabPolice to ascertain facts.

The 'reward' that an honest & efficient police officer (a graduate of QAU & former lecturer at GCU) got when the police under his command tried to stop Khawar Maneka – btw Rizwan Gondal topped in the CSS exam in 2007! pic.twitter.com/ZxSXxC9fUU

According to reports, a few days ago, late at night Khawar Maneka was stopped at a check post by the police but instead of stopping he sped his vehicle up. Because of this, he was involved in a police chase, which ended in him abusing the police officers and facing no consequences for his actions.
Apart from not facing consequences for disobeying police orders, he might actually have complained about the DPO who stopped him at the check post in the first place. The DPO in question was the DPO for Pakpattan, officer Rizwan Gondal.
The Chief Minister of Punjab, Usman Buzdar summoned the DPO to his office.
And apparently, officer Rizwan Gondal was asked to apologize to Khawar Maneka which he flat out refused to do.
And because he asked to be pardoned from having to apologize for doing his job, he was transferred to another police station.
And a lot of people seem to believe that this was done in order to punish him in a way. And according to people, this does not seem something which was meant to happen in ‘Naya Pakistan’.

Transfer of DPO PakPatan is condemnable over non-cooperation with Mr Khawar Maneka. If true the decision must immediately be reverted. We didn't hope for this in #NayaPakistan.

Making DPO Pakpattan OSD by Punjab govt on refusal to visit dera of Khawar maneka for apology on being checked at Police check post is deplorable. This order goes against declared vision of IK for depoliticisation & autonomy for police . Hope he takes notice . Police off.agitated

Police officers are upset about the transfer as well, officer Farhan Khan tweeted about the entire debacle.

And when people started talking ill about his colleague, he warned people about what would happen now; people would villanize Rizwan Gondal to justify the actions that were taken.

A lot of people are talking about how the first lay Bushra Maneka might have had an influence on this entire incident.
A salute to @rizwangondal333 DPO Pakpattan — transferred after he refused to apologize to Khawar Maneka when the latter was asked to stop at a police naka & didn't stop – the First Lady is said to have intervened and the DPO was told to go to Mr Maneka & apologise – he refused
