Case against 200 for lynching two ‘robbers’

[DAWN] BAHAWALPUR: The Lodhran Saddar police on Tuesday started the paperwork but haven't done much else against 200 people on the charges of lynching two suspected robbers in a nearby village.

Police said hundreds of people tortured two persons who, along with an accomplice, were suspected to have entered the house of Muhammad Nawaz at Chatti village to commit a robbery.

As Nawaz’s family raised hue and cry, they said, the suspects took to the heels but the villagers began to chase them. They overpowered two suspects and brutally tortured them as a result of which one of them, who was later identified as Arif, died.

A Saddar police team reached the place and rescued the other man, Falakshair, and shifted him to the District Headquarters Hospital, Lodhran, where he also expired. Their accomplice made good his escape.

The police claimed that the dear departed had criminal record and were wanted in several cases. The Saddar police started the paperwork but haven't done much else against 200 attackers, 18 of them nominated in the FIR.

Lodhran District Police Officer Asad Sarfraz Khan is said to have condemned the mob and said those who took law in their hands also deserved to be punished.
