KOHAT, Aug 24: A man has appealed to President Gen Pervez Musharraf to order action against his son, a serving army officer who, and some armed men, he alleged, had attacked him and occupied his house.

Addressing a press conference here on Friday, Mohammad Sadiq told newsmen that he had registered an FIR against his son, Moinuddin, at the KDA Township police station after he beat him and other family members.

He said that police were afraid of taking any action against a serving army officer.

He said that instead they were summoned to the police station by the SHO and asked to give undertaking that they would not cause any harm to Moinuddin. He said that he belonged to a respectable family and could not bear such humiliation.—Correspondent
