TAXILA: Taxila police claimed to have arrested a member of the Prime Minister’s Corona Relief Tiger Force for taking money from shop owners violating COVID-19 SOPs.
The suspect was identified as Mohammad Sadeeq, a resident of Meera Shareef. He had allegedly harassed the shopkeepers in the main market for violating SOPs and demanded money for not reporting them.
The shopkeepers roughed up the Tiger Force member and handed him over to the authorities for further action. Police have reportedly registered a case against the suspect.
On Saturday, PM Imran Khan had said that the Corona Relief Tiger Force will recruit more volunteers and assist the government in ensuring the rules are being followed in the country.
“I will be personally monitoring the situation and checking for compliance on the SOPs from the PM Office,” said the premier, while addressing media in Lahore and adding that he will also take input from the Tiger Force regarding the situation on the ground.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged the youth to join the ‘Corona Tiger Force’ to fight against the coronavirus outbreak.
On a social media website Twitter, PM said that he wants the youth to play their role in helping fight against the COVID-19 by joining Corona Tiger Force. He also shared a link where people can register themselves for the force.
“I want our youth to play their role in helping our fight against the COVID 19 by joining our Corona Tiger Force which will be organized to do jihad against the suffering caused by this pandemic,” he said.
