The Crime Control Department (CCD) is a special unit of the Punjab Police in Punjab, Pakistan, initiated by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, established on 26 February 2025 by a provincial law amendment to deal with serious and organized crime in the province. It is working with the authority to establish an independent order, its own police station, and the first information reports (FIR).[1][2]

History

[edit]

CCD was created in 2025 through an amendment to the Police Order 2002 via the Police (Amendment) Ordinance 2025.[3][4] Its formation was aimed at improving the investigation and prosecution of high-profile crimes, including land grabbing, extortion, kidnapping, and organized gang activity.[5][6]

In October 2025, CCD arrested gangster Teefi Butt who then escaped custody but was killed by the CCD the next day.[7] The killing brought to light increased police encounters since the formation of the CCD, with the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan reporting 500 encounters and 670 fatalities as of October 2025.[8] In December 2025, a petition was filed before the Lahore High Court, stating the CCD was using fake encounters to declare people criminals. As of the date of the petition, it was reported that approximately 1,100 people had been killed in police counters since the implementation of the CCD.[9]

Organization

[edit]

This section is led by an Additional Inspector General (Adel. IG), supported by Deputy Inspector General (DIGS), SSP, SPS and other officials. By 2025, about 4,250 employees are deployed under CCD in all districts of Punjab.[10][11]

CCD investigates crimes such as murder, dacoity, extortion, vehicle theft and kidnapping for ransom.[1] It runs its own police stations, uses modern surveillance tools, including drone and crime-mapping software Fatware, and collaborates with other security agencies where necessary.[12]

The Punjab government has allocated Rs 5.56 billion for the establishment of CCD covering infrastructure, recruitment, equipment and IT systems.[12]
