DERA GHAZI KHAN: The Border Military Police Mubarki Police Station registered a case against fourteen tribesmen, including six nominated ones, for stopping vehicles laden with relief goods and thrashed drivers in teshil Koh Sulaiman of the Dera Ghazi Khan.
The activists of a non-government organisation (NGO) were transporting goods under guidance of local tribesmen to distribute relief goods among the rain-affected people when they were intercepted by armed tribesmen who thrashed drivers for not stopping the vehicles and allegedly snatched relief goods from them.
After the incident, an activist of the NGO uploaded the details of the incident on social media.
Border Military Police Commandant Ikram Malik told Dawn the incident was a result of old enmity between two tribal clans of the area. He said a case had been registered against 14 suspects, including Habib, Abdul Rehman, Bashir, Idrees, Saifuddin and Khuda Bakhsh.
