SHO’s name included in murder case

Published December 15, 2002

LARKANA, Dec 14: The police on Saturday arrested two more suspects in the Shamshad Kehar murder case and recovered a blood- stained sack near Agani graveyard, which may provide a clue to the investigation team.

However, despite search into the Dadu Canal by divers and digging of certain spots in the village graveyard, the police failed to recover the body of the girl, who was stoned to death by her close relatives on the pretext of Karo-kari in Agani village a week ago,

Also, the police incorporated the name of the suspended SHO of the Mahota police station, Abdul Nabi Rind, in the FIR of the murder.

The DPO, Larkana, Abdul Sattar Detho, told this correspondent that Rind became a party to the crime by accepting the bribe for hushing up the murder.

The killers and the suspended SHO were equally responsible for the crime, the DPO insisted and added that he (SHO) would not go escort free.

He said that previous record of Rind depicted that he had relations with criminals.

DSP Akhtar Chandio said that two more suspects namely Alisher, son of Muhktiar, and Irfan, son of Shahmir Kehar, were arrested and handed over to the investigation wing of the police.

Chandio said that a blood-stained sack was recovered from a water hand-pump near the graveyard of Agani village, which could provide a clue to the investigation team.

Meanwhile, the police continued the efforts to fish out the body of the deceased girl from the Dadu Canal but remained unsuccessful.

Acting on a tip off, the police also dug certain areas in the graveyard near Agani village but found nothing.

On the other hand, the families of the alleged killers had left their houses and moved to some undisclosed destination, the police said.

The mother of the deceased girl had been shifted from the women police station to some unidentified place, sources said.

HUNGER STRIKE: A man, Khadim Manganhar, with his three children observed a token hunger strike near the sessions court here on Saturday.

He is demanding arrest of the accused of killing his wife.

He told journalists that three months back, his wife was killed but the influential accused were still at large.

He said that for the last one month, he was observing hunger-strike with his children at the Jinnahbagh but the police had failed to take any notice of it.
