HYDERABAD, Nov 15: Police did not register an FIR against a PPP MPA, DPO and DCO on a complaint lodged by Tando Allahyar District Nazim Dr Rahila Gul Magsi on Saturday despite the fact that she had a court order issued a day ago by additional district judge-III.
The district nazim along with her brother and former MPA Dr Irfan Gul Magsi and her group’s union council nazims went to Tando Allahyar police station in the evening and asked the duty officer to lodge the FIR after handing him the court order but he showed reluctance. She then spoke to DIG Sanaullah Abbasi over phone after waiting for SHO to turn up. “I spoke to DIG and told him why my FIR was not being lodged despite a court order? The DIG then told duty officer on phone that he should first consult the DPO of Tando Allahyar in this regard,” she told Dawn over phone from Tando Allahyar.
She told journalists that she would move a contempt of court application against police officers for disobeying court order.
The FIR pertained to an incident that took place on Nov 6 when a group of PPP workers led by Zulfikar Sattar Bachani and son of PPP MNA Shamshad Sattar Bachani forcibly occupied her office in her absence.
She has nominated in the proposed FIR PPP MPA Imdad Pitafi, PPP leader Abdul Sattar Bachani, his son Zulfikar Bachani, DCO and DPO.
SUP WORKERS HELD: Hussainabad police have picked-up four activists of Sindh United Party (SUP) after lodging an FIR against four of its leaders and workers for criminal trespass into the house of Privatisation Minister Syed Naveed Qamar on Friday.
SUP leaders including Dr. Dodo Mahri, Salam Rajput, Khawaja Naveed, Mir Ahmed Yar Talpur, Maula Bux Leghari and nine others were nominated in the FIR. Four of the activists whose names could not be ascertained were picked-up by Hussainabad police. The case is lodged under section 20 HO, 337A(i), 452, 341, 147, 149 PPC on behalf of state against accused.
DPO Hyderabad Ghulam Nabi Memon had earlier suspended SHO Hussainabad police station Sabir Gaddi for a delayed action on the part of police against protesters, some of whom trespassed into the outer limits of the bungalow of Syed Naveed Qamar in unit-2 Latifabad.
They also affixed posters, inscribed with writing of ‘traitor’ and shoes etc.
SUP leader Salam Rajput said that his party would hold PPP leaders accountable in people’s court because they were not afraid of criminal cases, therefore, Sindh law minister should refrain from harassing them by threatening them with registration of cases.
He said that PPP leaders were very happy when the then federal minister Nisar Memon was meted out the same treatment by them.
