He wasnt given Freehand and he was constantly under PPP's pressure that is why he couldnt able to take Actions on his own. That is why he had to leave Lyari in 2012 empty handed when PPP pulled him off from there in against Blackmailing of Gang War Elements that they would Confess about Weapons they got from PPP.What else free hand could have been given to him. I don't want to write bad about him since he is not in this world. Such a competent police officer who could not move even 50 meters ahead of 8 chowk or cheel chowk even after blowing ammunition worth millions of Rs and scarifying few policemen and killing few innocent civilians.
Though he Tried his best but he was part of Corrupt system and that System eat him Alive in the end.
