His integrity and commitment to duty made him stand out as a role model among his peers.
Recognizing his outstanding services, the KP Police sought his deputation from the federal government and appointed him District Police Officer (DPO) Charsadda. His tenure in Charsadda proved transformative, as he led successful operations against criminal networks, land grabbers and dacoits, restoring lasting peace to the district.
Such was his impact that upon his transfer, thousands of residents of Charsadda protested, demanding his reinstatement, a rare tribute that reflected his popularity and the trust he had built among the people through accessible and humane policing.
In recognition of his capabilities, he was later appointed SSP Operations, Peshawar, where he launched a vigorous crackdown against the encroachment mafia, leading to the arrest of over 55 individuals under the Maintenance of Public Order (3MPO). His leadership brought a marked reduction in street crimes, robberies and thefts, further strengthening law and order in the provincial capital.
SSP Bangash is admired for being a voice for the oppressed, ensuring swift action on public complaints and maintaining a culture of justice and accountability within the police force. His courage, honesty and empathy have made him an inspiring example for young officers and a source of pride for the Pakistan Police Service.
