PESHAWAR: Questions surrounding the alleged disappearance of government vehicles belonging to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate have intensified after reports emerged that police recovered a vehicle during the investigation of a kidnapping case, with sources claiming it belongs to the Sports Directorate. However, neither the police nor the Sports Directorate has officially confirmed or denied the claim.

If verified, the development raises serious concerns about the custody and use of government property. How did a government vehicle allegedly end up in the possession of a private individual? Was it officially assigned? Who was responsible for its movement? Where is its logbook and movement record? Has any departmental inquiry been initiated?

The issue comes against the backdrop of repeated questions regarding the whereabouts and use of Sports Directorate vehicles. Instead of providing detailed explanations, the department has largely remained silent.

Following earlier reports on the issue, the Secretary Sports served the journalist with a legal notice seeking Rs1 billion in damages, alleging that the reporting had damaged the department's reputation. Despite the legal action, key questions regarding the management and accountability of government vehicles remain unanswered.

Sources further claimed that Peshawar Police visited the Peshawar Sports Complex three days ago and recorded statements from several individuals as part of their inquiry. There has been no official confirmation from the police regarding the purpose or findings of the visit.

Efforts were also made to obtain the department's version. The Director Establishment of the Sports Directorate was contacted multiple times through WhatsApp and mobile phone. According to the reporter, the first WhatsApp call was declined after the message was seen, while subsequent calls went unanswered. No official response had been received by the time this report was filed.

Whether these reports are ultimately confirmed or disproved, the controversy highlights a broader issue of transparency and accountability in the management of public assets. The public deserves clear answers, supported by official records, rather than continued silence.
