The talented husband-wife duo made history in Balochistan by being appointed as police chiefs in different districts. The incident has been termed as historic for Balochistan Police.
Dr. Muhammad Sami Malik has been designated as the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) for Naseerabad, while his wife, Faryal Farid, has taken on the role of SSP in Jafarabad.
This appointment not only emphasizes Balochistan Police’s commitment to diversifying its leadership but also reflects the strong dedication of these individuals to serving their respective communities.
Dr. Malik, with an illustrious career in law enforcement, brings a wealth of experience to his role as SSP Naseerabad. Meanwhile, Faryal Farid’s appointment as SSP Jafarabad marks a historic first for the province, shattering gender barriers and serving as an inspiring example for other women aspiring to leadership roles within the police force.
