On Monday, a large number of women and children blocked the Sanghar-Nawabshah road in protest against Laxman not being arrested. The DSP, Shahdapur, assured them that Laxman would be arrested soon.

LIQUOR SEIZED: Police raided Gul Laghari village and seized several pitchers of locally-prepared liquor and also arrested an accused for running an illegal brewery.

The name of the man arrested could not be ascertained.

Deceased Malik Fazal Hussain was coming back to his home in Chak No.1 on a newly purchased motorcycle after visiting his agricultural lands.

When he was about one kilometre away from the village, two unidentified persons signalled him to stop. As he stopped, the robbers tried to take away his motorcycle.

On his resistance they fired on him killing him on the spot.

The jittery robbers fled leaving the motorcycle behind them.
