Alleged smuggler gasping for life
FAISALABAD, Oct 31: The condition of an alleged woman smuggler of an international gang has deteriorated owing to alleged negligence of the district jail staff. According to reports, the Anti-Narcotics Squad rounded up a Singapore national, Meri Chen Sui Mai, from the Faisalabad International Airport on the charge of drug trafficking on May 27 last year, and sent her to the district jail.
About a month ago, the prisoner who is being tried by a local additional district and sessions judge, developed pain in her body and fell ill but the jail administration and doctors refused to provide her medical aid.
Sources said she was given temporary medical treatment in her barrack instead of shifting to hospital due to which her condition worsened. The jail officials contended that the woman was staging a drama of her ailment to get undue favour and as a last resort she threatened to commit suicide if she was not shifted to the hospital.
She was shifted to the District Headquarters Hospital where doctors referred her to the Allied Hospital for different tests.
POLICE FAILURE: Police have failed to recover a minor, Muhammad Unas, who had been kidnapped for ransom about a fortnight ago.
The police officials said that a case had been registered and special teams constituted to recover him.
Reports said Muhammad Unas (6) was playing in front of his house in Allama Iqbal Colony in D-Type Colony police limits when some unidentified men abducted him and later demanded a ransom of Rs1 million.
THREE KILLED: Three people were killed in separate incidents in rural areas of the district on Monday.
Villager Muhammad Saleem allegedly gunned down his brother Abdul Shakoor at Chak 166-RB, Khurrianwala over a trifle.
Shopkeeper Sabir Habib was killed and a passer-by, Owais Ahmed, sustained serious injuries when some men resorted to firing in Jaranwala Bazaar.
Two youths Naeem and Waseem allegedly strangled their step-father, Muhammad Ashraf, over a property dispute at Chak No 129-GB in Satiana police limits.
