SUKKUR, June 6: The Jacobabad and Balochistan police conducted raids for the third consecutive day in the Dadpur Jagir village on Friday and conducted house-to-house search to arrest three culprits allegedly involved in the killing of a Hari of Mir Farid Jamali, son of Prime Minister Zafarullah Jamali.

However, the police failed to arrest the culprits.

The Jacobabad police told this correspondent on the telephone that four accused — Amb, Mahi, Makhno, Ali Jan — were wanted by the police in the murder case and the fifth accused, Arsalan, was arrested by the Jacobabad police last week. Police were still looking for the remaining four.

The DPO, Shikarpur, also raided a village belonging to Jakhrani tribesmen and conducted a house-to-house search but in vain.

Eleven Jakhrani tribesmen who were arrested on Wednesday during a raid on Jagir village, the native village of PPP MNA Mir Ijaz Jakhrani, were again shifted from Jafferabad (Balochistan) to the Mouladad police station, Jacobabad.

On Friday, cases have been registered against them for keeping illegal arms in their houses.

However, Abdul Wali Jakhrani, who is a cousin of Mir Ijaz Jakhrani and son of Sardar Baqa Mohammad Jakhrani, is still in police custody at the Dera Allahyar lockup.

DEMO: The residents of the Housing Societies, Golimar, Shikarpur Road, Bihar Colony and Shah Khalid Colony held a protest demonstration against the SDO, SITE, Hesco, Sukkur, for the unscheduled load-shedding in their areas on a daily basis.

The protesters burnt tires and chanted slogans against the Hesco, Sukkur, which had failed to stabilize the power supply as per commitment of the chairman, Wapda, and the chief executive, Hesco.

The protesters demanded that an inquiry be held against the SDO, SITE, Hesco.
