NAWABSHAH: A Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) official was injured when a joint team of the agency and the Sukkur Electric Power Company (Sepco) was attacked during a raid on a flour mill in Moro town on Monday.

Sources said that the joint team headed by FIA’s Assistant Director Adnan Peter Masih and Sepco’s sub-divisional officer (SDO) Shiraz Ahmed Memon raided the mill over reports that it was being run on stolen electricity but the team faced violent resistance from the mill owner and his staff.

Adnan Masih suffered injuries in the attack and was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was provided treatment.

SDO Memon later lodged an FIR against the alleged attackers, Naveed Zardari, Habibullah and others, at the Moro police station under Sections 462-I, 462-N, 353, 324 and 337, and Section 34 of PPC.

None of the nominated suspects were, however, arrested till late Monday evening.
