Even, the staff on duty refused to arrange a meeting with the District Police Officer under the garb of their routine official business which lasted for an indefinite period.  Meanwhile, he was asked to contact the office of Deputy Commissioner and Additional Deputy Commissioner General Attock. On this occasion, the Additional Deputy Commissioner General also shown his inability and advised to take up the matter with the office of Home Department Punjab for issuance of NOC.
