HYDERABAD, Aug 26: Tando Mohammad Khan police lodged an FIR on Sunday and detained a suspect in the case of murder of five members of a family while traders kept their businesses closed for the second day running on a call for strike given by Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz to mourn the gory incident.
The bodies were buried in Burhan Shah Graveyard in the town after the family head Chaudhry Ghulam Mohammad who had gone to Rahimyar Khan returned.
Unidentified assassins sn-eaked into Chaudhry’s house in Shahi Bazaar sometime after midnight on Saturday and butchered his wife, Shamshad, 65, daughters Nazish alias Nazia 27, and Rukhsana alias Sana, 24, and sons Ali, 23, and Mohammad Tariq, 21, with sharp edged weapons and fire arms.
Tando Mohammad Khan DPO Muneer Ahmed Shaikh said that preliminary inquires revealed that the murders were perhaps an outcome of a family dispute.
HUNGER STRIKE: JSQM activists observed a token hunger strike outside the Hyderabad press club in protest against disappearances of activists of nationalist parties in Sindh and Balochistan, joblessness and price hike on Sunday.
The party’s central chairman Rasool Bux Thebo and divisional president Khan Nohani said that ruling and opposition parties were only interested in power game and pay least attention to the common man’s issues.
