SUKKUR, April 18: A man allegedly killed his sister as a Kari on Saturday, after taking her home from a Darul-Aman by promising in a district and sessions court that the woman would be under his safekeeping and would not be harmed.

Police have not been able to find her body and an FIR was not registered till the filing of this report. Sabhai, 30, resident of Mulamo Banglani Goth near Thul, Jacobabad district, had fled the village around two months ago after her brother had declared her a Kari.

Police produced her in the court of the civil judge in Thul, where Haji Ghulam Yasin decreed that she be housed in the Darul-Aman of Larkana, the government's shelter for women.

Two days ago her brother, Dadan Banglani, went to Larkana and took his sister back to the village, after giving the district and sessions court there a personal guarantee that she would not be harmed.

An NGO, upon receiving information of Sabhai's murder, complained to the Chief Justice of Sindh about the incident, who ordered the district police officer to take action in this regard.

Police have arrested some suspects in this connection, whereas raids were being conducted for the arrest of actual culprits. Adds Our Dadu Correspondent: A man was tracked down and shot dead in Kotri town on Saturday night, eight months after his relatives declared him to be a Karo.

Yar Mohammad Umrani, 25, was shot dead by his three relatives, Ghaffar, Alam and Imam Bukhsh Umrani, over the charge of Karo-kari on the Mehran bridge, Khanpur road. Police, on the complaint of Deedar, registered an FIR against the three accused.

His body was sent to his native village Ali Jan Umrani, Garhi Khero taluka, Jacobabad district. He had shifted to Kotri town after being accused of karo-kari some eight months back.
