LARKANA, Jan 27: Market police on Saturday registered an FIR against Assistant Sub-Inspector Aftab Abbasi and four other policemen on the compliant of Hazoor Bakhsh Malik who charged the policemen had chopped off his sensitive part.

Mr Malik stated in the FIR that police had picked him a week ago from a roadside hotel in Shahi Bazaar where he worked as a daily-wager on charges of theft and kept torturing him and demanding bribes since then.

He would begin probe into the case from Sunday.
