“The lady was allowed to continue staying within the Police lines to allow the closure of schools at the end of term one. She was to get an alternative residence at the end of the term.

“She claims not to know the whereabouts of her husband. The claim that the officer is sick and is hospitalized is not known to us. The family has never reported his whereabouts since January 2018 when he absented from duty.

“We are investigating the matter to establish the whereabouts of the officer and possibly have him taken to hospital for medical checkup,” the police said in a statement.
