Villagers protest against police
SUKKUR, Nov 18: A number of people belonging to the Drib village in the Jhangro area of Sukkur staged a protest demonstration and observed a sit-in, in front of DIG Police office Sukkur, on Friday against alleged atrocities of Jhangro police. Led by Mohammad Ali, Ashiq Ali and others, the protesters raised slogans against police.
They told newsmen that on Thursday night some villagers, including Ali Nawaz Mirani, Dalil Mirani, Abdul Sattar Mirani and Ghulam Mustafa Mirani, were going home in a wagon.
When they were near Rohri bypass, ten armed persons intercepted the wagon, attacked and injured them and fled.
They said that the attackers were identified as Jamaluddin Kaladi, Ghulam Shabbir, Pervaiz, Zahid, Ghulam Haider and the police were duly informed.
They alleged that the Jhangro police, instead of registering an FIR against them lodged a case against the villagers after taking bribe.
After listening to their grievances, the DIG ordered the DPO Investigation, Sukkur, to probe into the matter, and submit report within three days, after which the protestors dispersed peacefully.
PROTEST: The irrigation employees staged a protest demonstration and observed a pen-down strike, in Kandhkot, on Friday, after police failure to recover the SDO irrigation Shahnawaz Bhutto and his driver Abdul Ghafoor Lohar, despite lapse of three days.
The employees, led by Abdul Hafeez Domki, Mir Hassan Sawand and others also staged a sit-in before the irrigation offices.
They said that Kashmore police neither registered a case nor they arrested or recovered the SDO and his driver.
On the other hand, an elder of Bhutto community and Nazim of the Union Council Budani, Amanullah Bhutto, said that, he was in constant touch with the District Nazim Sardar Saleem Jan Mazari, who had directed the police to recover the hostages as soon as possible.
