SUKKUR, Aug 4: Ghoto tribesmen kidnapped a seventeen-year-old boy, Shabbir Ghoto, from Lodhra, Ghotki District, over an enmity on Sunday.

Police registered a case against 10 people involved in the kidnapping.

Protest: Several activists of the Sindh Peoples Students Federation (SB) brought out a rally to protest against the uncalled for arrest of their leaders and workers and registration of false cases against them in Sukkur on Sunday.

The rally, which was led by the president, SPSF (SB), Riasat Ali Choohan, marched through the main roads of the city and stopped at Teer Chowk, Sukkur.

The SPSF(SB)’s local leaders including Hidayatullah Bhutto, Azam Choohan, Kashif Khaskheli, Ghulam Nabi, and Rana Usman lamented the registration of false case against SPSF central leader Ali Goher Chandio saying that the murder case of Mir Ghulam Murtaza Bhutto was being delayed time and again while the case of the murder of an American journalist, Daniel Pearl, had been finalized within several months.

They demanded that the case of Mir Murtaza Bhutto should be decided soon, and the actual culprits involved in his murder were brought to book.

LANDLORD KILLED: Dacoits killed a landlord, Fazaluddin, and injured his wife when the latter offered resistance in Daharki town on Sunday.

STPP: At least 200 workers of the Sindh Tarraqi Passand Party (STPP) staged a protest sit-in in front of the Jacobabad Press Club the other day against the deteriorating law and order situation of the city, where the incidents of kidnapping and dacoities had increased alarmingly.
