THATTA, March 29: Delay in justice, denial of medical report, and failure to arrest the culprits are making a gang rape victim psychosomatic and further lingering may force her to end her life.

This was stated by the Peoples Party Parliamentarians MPA, Sassui Palijo after visiting the victim’s family in village Chhato Chand near Thatta on Thursday.

On the complaint of victim's father, Aachar Samoon, the MPA immediately contacted IGP Sindh, Jehangir Mirza and secretary health, Naushad Shaikh on mobile phone and told them that police and lady doctor Nasreen Baloch were reportedly trying to hush up the case.

She revealed that out of the three nominated accused, Laiq Jakhro and Anwar Jakhro — one with criminal record — were still not arrested as they were being protected by some influential people.

FIR AGAINST POLICE: The court of district and sessions judge Thatta has ordered registration of an FIR against 20 police personnel of Thatta police station and police-line for wrongfully detaining five villagers of Faqir Jo Goth near Thatta on Thursday. The orders have been issued on the complaint of a villager, Lal Mohammad Magsi.

The sessions Judge, Raja Lehrasab Khan in his remarks has maintained that police have no right to arrest or confine any citizen without any valid warrant.

Those against whom orders were issued included former SHO Thatta police station, Allah Dino Shaikh, four ASIs and police constables.

BAIL CANCELLED: Thatta district and sessions judge on Thursday cancelled bail of the JSQM chairman, Basheer Khan Qureshi and Dr Suleman Palijo for not appearing in Shah Murad case. The court has issued warrant of arrest against them.
