MIRPURKHAS: Widow’s plea for justice

Published September 15, 2003

MIRPURKHAS, Sept 14: A widow, Zarina Mirza, resident of Satellite Town, Mirpurkhas, has appealed to the authorities to ensure fair investigation regarding the murder of her son, Ubaid Mirza, as the Hyderabad police has refused to investi-gate it.

She said that her son was killed by some unknown persons on June 9. However, they later hanged him in the room of a hotel, located within the limits of the Fort police station, to make it look like a suicide.

In a press statement issued here on Friday, she said that her son was killed under mysterious circumstances, but the Fort police registered a case under section 174 CrPC on the complaint of the hotel manager.

She deplored that despite her written complaint to higher authorities, no inquiry regarding the incident had been conducted yet.

She demanded that an impartial inquiry be conducted by an honest police official and the SHO be punished.

FIR: The Satellite Town police on Saturday registered a murder-cum-robbery case against the owner of a car, Aijaz Laghari, driver Abdul Sattar Laghari and an unidentified person.
