LARKANA, July 10: A raiding party of the session’s court, Larkana, found two villagers being kept in habeas corpus at two police stations on Thursday.

Jawed Ali Mahar, a resident of the Wada Mahar village, in a petition filed with the in charge, session’s judge, Nadeem Ahmed Akhund, accused Inspector Zulfiqar Solangi, the SHO of the Market police station, of arresting his father, Ghulam Haider Mahar, and kept him in illegal confinement for the last seven days.

The court appointed Muhktiar Ali Lanjar as raid commissioner with the instructions to locate the detainee.

The raid commissioner found Ghulam being illegally confined in one of the rooms of the police station. He was set free, while the raid commissioner asked the SHO and Sub-Inspector Gohar Shah to appear before the court on Friday along with the evidence, if any.

The raiding party also raided the Waleed police station where they found Waseem Ali being illegally detained at the police station. The duty officer failed to produce any proof leading to his arrest. Waseem was set free, while SHO Safdar Abbasi and ASI Liaquat were asked to appear before the court on Friday, along with the evidence, if any.

Waseem’s father, Kalhoro, had also complained to the court that the SHO was demanding Rs50,000 for his son’s release.

BREACH: A 20-feet-wide breach developed in Sujawal Shakh at RD-3L, near the Warishdino Mashi village, late Wednesday night as a result of which 100 acres of farmland and four houses in the Khameeso Lolaee village were inundated.

By the time the irrigation officials arrived, the villagers had already plugged the breach.
