SUKKUR: A large number of people of village Bagho Phulpoto staged a demo in front of SSP’s office, Khairpur, along with the body of Ayaz Ali and alleged that the Pir Jo Goth Police had killed him after he was arrested along with the bride Saima, three days ago on the charge of under-age marriage.
They accused the Pir Jo Goth Police of seeking Rs50,000 in bribe for the release of Ayaz and Saima along with their parents. Crying piteously, the boy’s mother, Mst Bashira charged that when they could not pay the bribe, the police tortured their son who died the moment he was released. She strongly refused the police charge that the bride was underage.
