Shahnawaz Qasim appointed CEO Telangana Wakf Board

Following a direction from the Telangana High Court, the Government on Monday appointed DIG rank IPS officer Shahnawaz Qasim as the new CEO of State Wakf Board.

Shahnawaz Qasim belongs to 2003 IPS batch and has been allotted to Telangana cadre during the bifurcation of the united Andhra Pradesh.

Shocked at the reply given by state wakf board CEO  that he never read any of the provisions of criminal procedure code with whose aid he can endeavour to protect wakf properties even when



police refuse to register FIR against encroachers of the Wakf properties, the Telangana high court  asked the wakf counsel to tell the government to get rid of this CEO immediately.

Taking a strong note of the High court’s remarks, the Government has transferred Mohammed Qasim and appointed Shahnawaz Qasim to the post.The Minorities welfare department on Monday issued orders appointing Director Minority Welfare, Shahnawaz Qasim to the post.
