Later, the accused killed Soomri and alleged she was Kari with Gul Khoso. Bashir Ahmed, the father of the Soomri, registered an FIR against the same accused.

PROTEST: Journalists from Sukkur, Khairpur, Ranipur, Gambat, and other towns on Wednesday took out a procession against the police for arresting and torturing Gambat-based journalists Mujeeb Lakho, Rafiq Ahmed, Imdad, and Maqsood Sahito and others while they were performing their professional duties.

The Police also snatched cameras from the journalists and damaged the rolls. This was done on the behest of the Muslim League Functional leader Khalid Shaikh.
