A senior most journalist Jabbar Siddique called the King of Crime reporting has died due to health problems. Jabbar worked for over three decades in Siasat Urdu daily as the chief of Bureau, passed away at his home on Sunday night.
He was 78 and survived by his wife, a son and two daughters. The DGPs used to take his advice before taking a step forward for Curfew or any other issues in the city of Hyderabad.
Jabbar Saab, as he was fondly called by his fellow scribes, was the senior-most crime reporter, who was known to have maintained excellent contacts in the police department right from constable to the Chief of police level.
Many crime reporters and trainees used to depend on his information especially for the news on the police transfers. Jabbar was also known for his penchant to guide the beat reporters by sharing information, a quality for which ‘Jabbar Saab’ is remembered ever after his retirement from Siasat long time ago.
Jabbar also used to help people of all communities who were arrested for no reason by the police in general.
