The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had filed a reference against Mr Jamali along with six other policemen in 2018 for abusing their powers and alleged embezzlement in the funds of the police department.
NAB claims the recruitments were made for the posts of constables and computer operators, among others, which caused a loss of over Rs500 million to the national exchequer.
The indictment came in the corruption references filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in line with the directions of the Supreme Court of Pakistan that took action after allegations surfaced that nepotism and corruption were committed during Jamali’s tenure as IGP Sindh in recruiting hundreds of policemen.
