Murad Baksh is facing terrorism charges for vandalizing Bahria Town Karachi property – even though he wasn’t present at the protest site when violence erupted on June 6.
“I was unwell that day and had gone to the doctor’s. Regardless of my absence [on June 6], a First Investigation Report (FIR) was launched against me. I got interim bail and despite that the police raided my house and picked [up] two of my cousins,” recounted a frustrated Baksh.
KARACHI: Police on Saturday registered an FIR against the Bahria Town Karachi (BTK) security administration on charges of rioting, kidnapping and injuring villagers on the complaint of a village resident, official sources and rights activists said.
This decision was taken apparently after the late Friday night intervention by the top PPP leadership and the chief minister of Sindh.
On Friday, the BTK guards accompanied by police, both in civilian dress and uniforms, tried to destroy agricultural crops in Jam Kamal Khan Goth near Kathore to pave the way for new projects of the BTK. The move was resisted by the villagers. The guards resorted to firing, wounding three persons and also allegedly kidnapping the wounded persons and others who were later on rescued by the villagers and shifted to a hospital.
