NAUSHAHRO FEROZE, Sept 6: Kandiaro police have registered a case against Mohbat Dero Union Council Nazim Abdul Ghaffar Dahraj and some other people for attacking a lawyer, Zulfiqar Jatoi.

The case was registered on the directives of the additional sessions judge against the nazim, Bali Hisbani, Mohram, Mehruddin Dilo, Deedar and Haji Hisbani. Mar Jatoi was attacked while he was returning from the court in Kandiaro with his security guard on Tuesday.

Local activists of the People’s Party Parliamentarians staged a demonstration against nomination of the nazim in the case. They claimed that Mr Dahraj had been implicated in the case because he had applied for a PPP ticket for a provincial assembly seat.
