LARKANA, June 26: Police on Tuesday booked the president of the Larkana chapter of Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party (STP), Khair Mohammed Magsi and eight unknown people on charges of beating two cameramen of private TV channels and damaging their equipment.
Tarique Morio, the cameraman of Sindh TV, said in his complaint registered at the Market police station that he and his fellow cameraman, Taimoor, who worked for ARY One World, were thrashed and his camera was damaged when they were busy filming the joint protest of opposition parties against Salman Rushdie.
The STPP activists demanded that they film them first and flew out of handle when he asked them to wait till he was finished with filming the protest, he said.
EXHUMATION: A team of doctors on Tuesday exhumed the body of one Khalil Pirzado from Abubakar Graveyard in the presence of a magistrate to ascertain the cause of death after his mother claimed that his son did not commit suicide but was killed.
Khalil Pirzado was found dead in his house in Samtia Mohalla about a fortnight ago and was buried after his relatives declared he had committed suicide.
But Pirzado’s mother, Ghulam Zohra, contested the cause of death and moved the court seeking exhumation of the body to verify actual reason of his son’s death.
The results of the post mortem would come up within a week, the doctors said.
