LARKANA, June 2: A raiding party of the district and sessions court recovered four illegal detainees from the Qubo Saeed Khan police station on Tuesday. The action was taken on the order of the court which was approached by a complainant, Mohammed Urs Mochi.

He stated that on May 29, two assistant sub-inspectors, Imamuddin Brohi and Nayer Hussain Brohi, raided his house in the Sufi Mohammed Bakhsh Khaskheli village and arrested Ghulam Shabir, Karim Bakhsh, Gulab and Sikandar.

Since then, he said, they had been kept at the Qubo Saeed Khan police station. He alleged that on being contacted, the ASIs demanded bribe for releasing the detainees which was not paid to them.

The district and sessions judge, Mir Khair Mohammed Talpur, appointed Mukhtiar Lanjar as a raid commissioner with the instructions to pay a surprise visit of the police station and recover the detainees.

When Mr Lanjar raided the police station, he found the four detainees in the lock-up. The duty officer, ASI Imamuddin Brohi, failed to produce any documents proving arrest of the detainees.The detainees were released on personal surety. Mr Lanjar told this correspondent that the detainees had been tortured which was obvious from their blood-stained clothes.

SALARIES DEMANDED: Daily-wage employees of the district public health department have demanded regularization of their services and payment of their six-month salaries.

They observed a token hunger strike outside the press club here on Tuesday. They said that 212 employees of the department had been absorbed in different taluka municipal administrations under the devolution of power plan but they had been denied their salaries.

KILLED: Mujeebur Rehaman Korai, a villager, was killed and his body was thrown into the Dadu Canal on Tuesday. Police recovered the body.
