COURT: Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali of Sindh High Court (SHC), Larkana circuit, has ordered DPO, Larkana, on Thursday to serve show cause notices to two SHOs for illegally detaining a man at their police stations.

The SHC judge had ordered the raid in response to an application by a relative of the detainee. It was also revealed that earlier the detainee was kept at the Taluka police station for five days.
