DADU, April 9: The father of Head Constable Qalandar Bux Gopang, who was killed in a clash between two groups of Gopang clan a few days ago in Qasimabad village, on Monday threatened to commit suicide if police did not arrest his son’s killers.
Madad Ali and Nazar Ali, brother and father, respectively, of the slain cop, who led a demonstration outside the press club demanded that the police arrest immediately Dodo Gopang and Khurram nominated in the murder case.
They alleged that police, themselves, were protecting the accused Dodo Gopang because he was an accountant of SP investigation.
