HYDERABAD, Sept 13: A poor woman on Thursday accused Sanghar police of keeping her husband and two sons in illegal detention in what she called ‘a false case of murder.’ She appealed to superior judiciary and senior police officers to help get her justice.

Hajiani Kanyar, wife of Mohammad Ali Kanyar, said at a news conference at the press club that police picked her husband and two sons Mohammad Ibrahim and Arbab at the instance of local landlord after the murder of a youth Ghulam Mohammad Mirjat in Amanullah Dahiri village of Sanghar three weeks ago despite the fact that they were not nominated as accused in the FIR.

Police did not release them even after the complainants told them that her husband and sons had nothing to do with their relative’s murder, she said adding that police also took away their cattle when they picked up her husband and sons.

She said that police had held them incommunicado for over 20 days without producing them in any court and expressed the fear that police might kill them in an encounter.

Ms Hajiani said that no criminal case had ever been registered against her relatives at any police station and appealed to superior judiciary and senior police officers to take notice of the illegal detention.

She warned that if she did not get justice she would observe hunger strike.
