HYDERABAD, Oct 29: The civil judge and judicial magistrate-XI of Hyderabad on Monday remanded three women, who faced charges of kidnapping an infant from Civil Hospital, to judicial custody for 14 days.

The accused Nasreen and her sisters Parveen and Saima were produced in court by Market investigation wing police following an FIR lodged by Azizullah Nizamani, father of the infant, a day ago.

The baby was kidnapped from Civil Hospital in the wee hours of Sunday and was found hours later after a succession of dramatic developments.

“I have no child. I admit my mistake but my sisters have nothing to do with it,” Ms Nasreen told journalists at the court.

She said that she took the baby to Charitable Hospital for treatment but when she did not recover from high fever she had to send her again to the same hospital with her sisters.

But by then police arrived there and arrested them. She was picked from her home in Ghaushala after her sister Saima who lived in Larkana and Parveen told police about her, she said.

SHO SUSPENDED: The SHO of Qasimabad police station Abdul Qadir Samoon was suspended following his refusal to carry out AIG police (finance) Munir Sheikh’s order to raid the homes of people nominated by the AIG’s brother in two FIRs.

His refusal led to an altercation and the AIG passed indecent remarks against him, the SHO wrote in the station diary before he left charge.

Naseeer Ahmed Sheikh, AIG’s brother, had lodged two cases against Abdul Haq Memon, an employee of National Bank of Pakistan, his brother Fazal Haq Memon and others over a property dispute involving a plot in Sehrish Nagar.

The possession of the plot after litigation had been restored to Naseer Ahmed Sheikh still the AIG wanted to have them arrested, sources said.

The SHO said that it the job of investigation wing to conduct raids on the homes of the accused and arrest them but the AIG said that he did not trust supervising police officer (SPO) of Qasimabad.

He was placed under suspension Sunday night.
