A first information report (FIR) was lodged against Deputy Superintendent of Police Tasdeeq Waris, Sub-Inspector (SI) Irshad Jatt and SI Younas Jatt at Nabi Bux police station, Karachi, and they were subsequently arrested for allegedly keeping three persons in illegal custody, it has been learnt.

According to the deputy inspector general (DIG) of the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA), M. Khalil, Jameel Ahmed and Faizan Attari were arrested from Korangi on Wednesday by SI Jatt.

They were recovered in the afternoon in a raid conducted by the judicial magistrate after a family member of one of the men in custody filed a complaint.

All three of the police officers who reportedly ordered and carried out the illegal arrests are currently under custody.

Neighbours claim woman's alleged suicide was 'murder'

A 24-years-old woman allegedly committed suicide jumping from the fourth floor of her apartment’s building in Gulistan-i-Jauhar, police said.

However, her neighbours alleged that she was deliberately “murdered” by her husband with whom she had a second marriage.

Khushi alias Saima had sustained critical injuries when she reportedly jumped from the fourth floor of her apartment building in Gulistan-i-Jauhar on Monday night. She was transported to a nearby private hospital where she succumbed to her injuries in the early hours of Tuesday.

Though her neighbours alleged that it was a "murder" not suicide, the Investigation Officer (IO) Mohammad Rizwan said that so far the deceased’s heirs have not filed any complaint.

He said that the apartment’s union office-bearers had asked the husband of the deceased to vacate the apartment after Saima's death but he had refused.

The IO suspected that the union men might have "orchestrated" the protest to get the flat vacated from the family.
