Villagers speak out against police attitude
KASUR, July 21: Scores of villagers on Saturday evening staged a protest demonstration outside the Chunian police station against what they said the police’s reluctance to register a robbery case.
Reports said five dacoits forcibly entered the house of trader Abdul Razzaq on Friday night at Deu Sial village. On offering resistance, the robbers thrashed the inmates, including women.
When the family refused to give money, the accused held Razzaq’s son Ijaz, 7, hostage at gunpoint. Razzaq told the dacoits that he had some cash at his nearby store.
Two of the accused went with the trader and got Rs170,000 cash from there.
The robbers also collected a gun and two cell phones from the house and managed their escape.
