MIRPURKHAS: The superintendent of Mirpurkhas Central Prison and four of his subordinate officials, along with SHO and six policemen of the Kot Ghulam Mohammad police station were booked on Saturday on a court order over the alleged murder of an undertrial suspect.

The FIR was registered at the Satellite Town police station against the jail chief, Irshad Rind, four prison officials, the SHO, Haq Nawaz Junejo, and six of his subordinate personnel on an order of the Mirpurkhas district and sessions court.

Complainant Ali Muhammad Khoso had filed an application in the court stating that his brother, Channesar Khoso alias Dado, was tortured to death by policemen in the jail a few days back. Mirpurkhas SSP Asad Chaudhry had also submitted his report in the count recommending a judicial inquiry into the UTP’s death.
