PESHAWAR, Aug 24: The mother of an Afghan boy, allegedly sodomised by an influential man who later killed a complainant, on Thursday urged the chief minister and provincial police chief to help her against the accused.

Talking to reporters, the woman identified the accused as Ihsan.

“Ihsan sexually assaulted my eldest son. I informed social workers of the area about the incident. When they went to Ihsan’s place to take up the matter with him, he opened fire on them, killing one person and injuring the other,” she said.

The dead and the injured were identified as Babrak and Ishrat Bacha, respectively.

The woman said her son and his brother were working in a shop in Bakhshi Pull on Aug 15 when Ihsan, who had a shop adjacent to his son’s, assaulted him.

“We have no support in Peshawar. My husband is working in Afghanistan and my sons cannot protect themselves from a man who has already killed an innocent person,” she said.

Accompanied by her sons, she said a case had been lodged with the Daudzai police.

“Ihsan’s brothers are hurling threats on my child,” she said.

Later, the woman went to the Afghan consulate to seek Kabul’s intervention in the case.
