SANGHAR, Sept 27: Rangers' personnel allegedly beat up a peasant in Ding Pattan in the Khahi area, 110 kilometres off here, on Sunday. Asio Kolhi, along with his wife, had come to Ding Pattan from the Esso Baloch village to purchase cloth.

When he disembarked from a bus, the Rangers' personnel asked him to hand over a hatchet he was carrying. The frightened peasant, fearing some big problem, started running. The Rangers' personnel gave a chase, caught hold of him and started beating him.

The Rangers' personnel left the peasant after he fell unconscious. Later, a brother of Mr Asio, Premo Kolhi, who reached there from a nearby village along with other people, took the victim to the Khipro Taluka Hospital.

SURRENDERED: A man, Aslam Shar, who had killed his father-in-law on Sunday surrendered before police on Monday.
