The security in-charge caught both the constables plucking the guava from the ‘forbidden tree’ at the Jati Umra residence of Sharif in Raiwind, located at the outskirts of Lahore.
The security in-charge reprimanded the two constables and submitted a complaint against them to the higher police authorities who dismissed them from service.
Lahore police spokesman, however, denied firing of the constables on the ground of plucking guavas.
Earlier this year, 27 policemen deployed at Sharif’s residence were suspended from service after a few peacocks were killed by a cat.
“The policemen were punished for failing to stop the cat from killing the peacocks. The cops deployed to guard the birds were found asleep when the cat killed the peacocks,” the inquiry finding official said.
