MULTAN, Nov 20: A widow whose 20 years old son and husband were slain by alleged kidnappers-cum-rapists of her daughter in a remote area of Taunsa is now running from pillar to post to see the accused behind the bars. Among the accused is a provincial parliamentary secretary.

Allah Wasai of Chah Samandariwala Mauza, Daira Din Pannah, Muzaffargarh district, came all the way to the local press club on Monday to tell her tale and seek attention of those at the helm of affairs. Having two sons from first husband Ameer Bakhsh Qaisrani, she wed Khoda Bakhsh after divorce from whom she had four boys and two girls.

She said that Saeed Ahmed Macchi of Paharpur, Layyah district, had kidnapped her daughter Kausar Perveen, a student of ninth, in November 2005. Kot Sultan police had registered a kidnap case.

The accused, she alleged, had raped her daughter and then forcibly contracted marriage with her. Later, the accused released the girl on the interference of local landlords.

For fear of the kidnapper, she said that she had shifted from Samandariwala to the house of her son Rashid Ameer in Taunsa Sharif. During her eight-month stay in Taunsa, she said accused Saeed Ahmed and Rahmatullah visited them three to four times and forced her husband to withdraw the case. Besides, Saeed also asked them to hand him over Kausar because she was his wife.

She said that proclaimed offender Rahmatullah was the gunman of Sardar Mir Badshah Khan Qaisrani, the parliamentary secretary for industries. She claimed that Saeed Macchi had been staying in the outhouse of the provincial secretary.

In the meanwhile, she said Mir Badshah Qaisrani and Pir Basheer Jaffar, Taunsa Sharif Naib Nazim, pressed her for the return of the girl.

She said the entire family was asleep when Rahmatullah and Saeed entered her son’s house on Oct 3 and tried to kidnap her daughter once again. The accused shot and killed her husband and son when they tried to foil their kidnap attempt. While Rehmatullah was also injured with the firing of his accomplice, but both of them managed to escape from the scene.

She said her nephew Amanullah spotted two more persons in the vehicle when he chased the accused. She suspected that two other accomplices of the accused were Sardar Mir Badshah Qaisrani and Pir Basheer Jaffar.

Taunsa Sharif police had lodged a double murder case against the accused on the complaint of Allah Wasai.

Meanwhile, Taunsa Sharif ASP Rana Masood Raza lodged another FIR against the accused when the police stopped the vehicle of fleeing killers at Pul Qambar. Mir Badshah Khan Qaisrani was driving the car while another person was sitting on the front seat with a G3 riffle. The ASP said that Mir Badshah Qaisrani had escaped from the spot while the arrested accused, who was also injured, identified himself as Rahmatullah.

Allah Wasai told journalists on Monday that her 21-year-old young son and husband had been killed, but the police were reluctant to arrest the influential accused as they belonged to the ruling party.

To save the provincial parliamentary secretary, she alleged the police had changed the vehicle and arrested another person, Qasim, who had nothing to do with the case. She said the riffle recovered from accused Rahmatullah was the official gun of Zulqarnain Yasir, the cousin of Mir Badshah Khan Qaisrani, who is dafedar in the Border Military Police.

She threatened to burn herself in front of the Supreme Court building if the murderers of her husband and the son were not arrested.

Amir Muhammad Khan Qaisrani, the father of Rashid Ameer Qaisrani, said that murderers had taken the injured accused to dispenser Rahmatullah Qaisrani and his statement was also a part of the FIR.

He said the police were neither keeping us aware of the investigation nor of the postmortem of both the deceased.

DPO Muhammad Inkasar Khan said the police were investigating the case and that they would arrest the accused involved in the double murder irrespective of their status.
