| [DAWN] KARACHI: The police investigation into the recent case of alleged forced conversion in Daharki has been shifted to Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , it emerged on Friday. The parents of the alleged victim, Anjali Kumari Meghwar, met the Sindh police chief on Friday. The police chief gave orders for the transfer of the case to Karachi. The case will now be taken over by SSP of south Faizullah Korejo under the supervision of DIG Abdul Khaliq Sheikh. Kundan Lal Meghwar, father of Anjali Kumari, will soon file a petition in the Sindh High Court for the trial of the case to be transferred from Ghotki to Karachi. According to reports, Anjali Kumari was kidnapped from her home, converted and married off to a Moslem man a week ago. The family has moved to Karachi to seek refuge from increasing threats they allegedly faced in Daharki and to pursue the case. Sindh police chief Ghulam Hyder Jamali told Dawn that the family sought the transfer of the case as they had certain 'doubts'. He said that a "fair probe purely based on merit" would be ensured in the case. He said there was nothing unusual about the case transfer as the police rules allowed transfer of a case if the complainant was not 'satisfied'. |
