PESHAWAR, June 8: A case has been registred against former world squash champion Jansher Khan for injuring and insulting a woman and her family and occupying their house.

Police have arrested three supporters of Jansher, who are accused of being involved in the incident. Jansher has obtained bail before arrest from a court.

Complainant Rukhsana informed the West Cantonment police that Jansher with his supporters — Nawab Ali, Aulia, Qazi Halim Jan and Mehboob — stormed her house in the Lal Kurthi area on Wednesday night.

She alleged that the armed attackers forced them to leave the house and occupied it before beating her up and tearing her clothes.

Police registered a case against the accused under section 354A, 448, 188, 506, 148 and 149 of the PPC. Later, police raided the house and arrested three of the accused staying there and recovered two unlicensed pistols from their possession.

Sources said that police also raided the house of Jansher but he was not there.

Soon after the Lal Kurthi incident, Jansher came to the police station and was present there when Rukhsana went there to lodge the FIR. On seeing her, Jansher left, leaving behind his car, the source added.

Jansher was reported to have asked police not to take any hasty action.

Also on Thursday, Rukhsana, her husband Habib and his brother Abdul Shakoor spoke at a press conference and informed journalists about their ordeal.

Shakoor, a retired Pakistan Air Force official and former football player, said that he had borrowed Rs1 million from Jansher, who was his friend, in 2003 on the condition that he would pay him mark-up on bank rate.

Shakoor added that he had given Jansher the documents of his brother’s house as surety.

He said that he had bought a bus from the loan amount but later sold it after suffering loss.

He alleged that Jansher started blackmailing him and his family and unilaterally doubled the mark-up. He said that he had paid about Rs1.7 million against Rs1 million loan but Jansher was demanding Rs4 million.

Shakoor said that he had sold even his household items to pay the debt.

He said that two days ago, Jansher and his accomplices stormed his brother’s house and occupied it after expelling the inmates, including women and children.

He said that they got the house vacated on the orders of the court of additional session judge Syed Ihtesham Ali, where they had filed a case against Jansher.

On late Wednesday night, again Jansher and his friends again stormed the house of his brother and occupied it, Shakoor said.

“We demand justice against the influential Jansher Khan,” he said.

He lauded the cooperation of judiciary and police in getting the house vacated earlier.
