Karachi: A petition was filed in the Sindh High Court on Wednesday, seeking production of some women and children who are allegedly being detained by the Qambar police.

Petitioner Mohammad Mithal Chandio, a farmer in Bityun village in Qambar, submitted that the police raided his house on December 27 and maltreated his family members. He submitted that the police were informed that his family had no relation with a criminal, Siku, but the police still took the women – Inayat Khatoon, Amina Khatoon, Ms Komari, Ms Musarat, Ms Hasina, Ms Kamala and Ms Nadira — along with four suckling babies to the police stations without any charge. He alleged that the police also took cash and valuables from his house and demanded R5,00,000 as bribe for their release.

Citing the Home Department, the IG Sindh, the DIG Larkana, the SSP Qambar, the SHO Naseerabad and the SHO Wagan as respondents, the court was requested to direct the respondents to produce the detainees and order the registration of a case against the police officials.
