RAWALPINDI: A mother seeking police help in arresting the killers of her two daughters fell victim to the brutality of police here on Saturday.

Talking to reporters, Shahjehan Begum alleged that her daughters Saima Naz and Saira Naz were killed and another was injured by one Asad in a hostel in the limits Civil Lines police on June 20, 2011.

She said she filed a murder case with the Civil Lines police but the killer was still at large.

“Today I along with my daughter Sobia and a relative Sher Khan tried to  meet CM Shahbaz Sharif and request him to provide me justice,  but SHO Raja Shakeel detained us in a room and tortured us,” she said.

The police detained the complainants in a room built at Gate number 1 for security guards and freed them after the chief minister left the venue.

Ms Shahjehan alleged that the killer was being protected by some influential people in the city.  The chief minister reportedly took notice of the incident and directed the RPO to arrest the killer and submit a report to his office. Besides, he also invited Ms Shahjahan to the chief minister office in Lahore.— Our Reporter
