HYDERABAD, June 28: Police on Saturday lodged an attempted murder case against Tando Allahyar District Nazim Dr Rahila Gul Magsi, her younger brother and former provincial minister Dr Irfan Gul Magsi and her husband and taluka

nazim of Chambar, Fayyaz Sheikh.

The complainant Khair Mohammad Mari accused in the FIR that union council nazims, Dr Jalil Jarwar, Ali Nawaz Lashari, Qasim Lund and others, who were in the district nazm’s motorcade, intercepted their vehicles when they were going to attend council session and they were fired upon at the instance of district nazim but luckily they remained unhurt.

District Nazim Dr. Rahila Gul Magsi dismissed the case as part of vindictive actions against her, her supporters and her family members by local Pakistan People’s Party leaders.

She said that her administration had been completely paralysed in the district at the instance of PPP leaders after they had failed to oust her through a no-confidence motion.

She said that she had to seek security from high-ups of police and other law enforcing agencies and rebutted allegations of PPP leaders. After failure in bringing a no-confidence motion, PPP leaders Abdul Sattar Bachani, Khair Mohammad Khokhar and others were victimising her supporters, who were being implicated in false cases at various police stations of the district.

She said that neither her brother nor her husband were present in Tando Allahyar on Friday and she had left for Hyderabad immediately after presenting the budget because she felt threat to her life.
