Lawyers protest against police

Published July 14, 2007

NAUSHAHRO FEROZE, July 13: Lawyers boycotted court proceedings in Moro on Friday in protest against investigation police’s failure to arrest the people involved in the kidnapping of a lawyer’s three-year-old daughter.

The lawyer, Subhan Ali Zardari, told journalists that police had arrested two women involved in his daughter’s kidnapping and he along with the police party and the arrested women was taking them to the police station when one Ghulam Sarwar stopped them on the Bandhi Road.

He slapped him (lawyer), used harsh words against police and got the women released, Mr Zardari said complaining that the police neither lodged any report nor arrested the accused.

Mr Zardari’s daughter went missing a few days ago, but later she was found in a house owned by the accused.

Our Khairpur correspondent adds: A large number of lawyers staged a procession in protest against the police’s failure in arresting the kidnappers.
