SHC team raids police station, finds 6 illegally detained men
LARKANA, March 13: A team of the Sindh High Court, circuit bench, Larkana, on Wednesday raided the Gaji Khuhawar police station where it found six people being illegally detained.
Justice M. Afzal Soomro, Sindh High Court, appointed the team consisting of raid commissioners, Abid Qazi and Manzoor Chandio, in the wake of a constitutional petition filed by a man, A. Bakhsh Brohi, a resident of Mehar town.
The petitioner alleged that about a month back the Gaji Khuhawar police barged into his house and arrested three men — Abdul Rashid, Abdul Majeed, and Ghulam Nabi Brohi — who were being kept in illegal confinement at the police station ever since.
When the Sind High Court team raided the police station not only did it find the three men but also three others who too were being illegally detained in the lock-up there. Their names could not be ascertained.
The duty officer could not provide any valid document showing the arrest of the six men. The SHO was asked to appear along with the documents and detainees before the court on Thursday (i.e today) to explain about the arrests.
