Published December 8, 2016

DERA GHAZI KHAN: A man allegedly killed his married son only to implicate his cousin in a murder case in the Sakhi Sarwar area.

The Sakhi Sarwar police registered a case against suspect Allah Divaya on the report of the widow of Roshan Ali.

The widow told police that Allah Divaya stoned his son Rashan Ali to death and later tried to implicate his cousin Khuda Bakhsh in the murder case.

She alleged that Divaya wanted to occupy the property of Khuda Bakhsh.

RIGHT TO VOTE: The right to vote in elections and its proper usage are the basic ingredients of democracy, so there is a need to raise awareness among the public regarding registration and casting of vote to strengthen democracy in Pakistan.

Speakers said this at a seminar to mark the National Day of Registration of Vote and Voter by the District Election Commission of Pakistan followed by a walk here on Wednesday.

The seminar was presided over by District Officer Coordination Mian Iqbal Mazhar.
