BAHAWALPUR, Dec 2: A Markazi Anjuman-i-Tajran and Anjuman-i-Sarafan delegation on Tuesday called on Bahawalpur Range DIG Pervez Akbar Lodhi and DPO Sikandar Hayat to convey its grievances against police.

The traders said police had failed to find a clue to a recent Rs3.7 million robbery at a jewellery shop on the Circular Road. They threatened that they would take any extreme step, if the police failed to arrest the culprits and recover jewellery.

Later at a press conference, the traders’ organizations said the two police officials had assured them that their grievances would be redressed. The police had been making efforts to trace the robbers, they quoted them as saying.

Three armed men plundered jewellery worth Rs3.7 million from Farooq’s shop few days before Eid. Kotwali police had registered a case against unidentified suspects, but they have yet to trace them.

PRISONERS FREED: The Bahawalnagar district and sessions judge ordered release of 30 prisoners, including a woman, involved in minor offences at the district jail, on Monday.
