MANSEHRA, May 18: District Police Office Tahir Ayub on Wednesday suspended an assistant sub-inspector for allegedly accepting Rs15,000 bribe from a victim family to lodge their FIR and later refusing to do so.

Mohammad Shabir, father of a kidnapped girl, told a press conference that Sher Afzal, Mohammad Afzal and Khan Afzal kidnapped his 11-year-old daughter, but the Saddar police did not lodge the FIR of the case on his complaint.

He alleged that ASI Mohammad Shaukat received Rs15,000 bribe for registration of the case, but he did not do so even after receiving the money.

After preliminary investigation, the DPO suspended the ASI and constituted a committee under DSP Ijaz Ahmad to investigate the case.

Meanwhile, the DSP told reporters that one of the accused in murder case of Waseem Afridi had been arrested and produced before the court. He claimed that the accused Alamzab had revealed that he and his nephew Khursheed Tanoli killed Mr Afridi.

ANTI-US RALLY:

The Muslim Students Federation, a student wing of PML-N, on Wednesday took out a rally against the US incursion in Abbottabad and demanded of the government to cut off relations with Washington.

Participants of the rally, which started from the degree college, marched through various roads and chanted slogans against the US administration.

Speaking on the occasion, Waseem Hassan and other MSF activists said that the government should resign as it failed to stop drone attacks on innocent people in tribal areas.

RELIEF DISTRIBUTED:

The Organisation of Pakistani Americans in collaboration with the Kaho Pakistan Welfare Society (KPWS) distributed relief items among the flood-affected families of Swat.

In a press release on Wednesday, the KPWS president Kashif Zia said that clothes, jackets, coats and shoes were given to people in flood-hit areas of Maragzar Town, Mingora, Matta, Upper Swat, Charbagh and Khwaza Khela.

He said that both the organisations had also planned to build a school for poor children in flood-stricken area of Dera Ismail Khan.
