He and his relatives chased the culprits and found them near Punjabi Garden where he saw Rehmatullah and Naheed holding the girl’s hands while Ayaz criminally assaulting her. He said that when they raised alarm the accused escaped leaving behind the girl in semi-conscious condition.

The girl was sent to taluka hospital Kandiaro for medical examination.

ALLEGATION: Members of taluka council on Thursday accused the taluka mukhtiarkar of selling government lands at throwaway prices.

Naib nazim of union council Padeidan Dr Abdul Qadir Memon said at the council’s meeting that former mukhtiarkar had sold 16 acres of government land in Padeidan at the rate of Rs250 per acre which the buyers were selling for Rs50 a foot.

Members Lal Khan Bohio and Gada Hussain Shah charged that the mukhtiarkar had also sold government land in union council Koor Hassan and Abran at throwaway price after issuing form-II and demanded inquiry into the matter.

Mukhtiarkar Syed Paryal Shah said that the 16 acres in Padeidan were old barrage land and he had no connection with it. He said that the form-II for the cattle pond was prepared in 1990 by the then mukhtiarkar and the chairman of then town committee of Naushahro Feroze issued property certificate.
