Mr Shaikh demanding suspension and inquiry against the two officers also called for reinstatement of the suspended employees and threatened to protest at the Secretariat Office in Karachi and block Shahrah-e-Faisal in case of failure.

Both the officers to pressurise employees also got registered an FIR against nine Union office-bearers at the B-Section Police Station, Dadu on August 17, he said and questioned as to why police were favouring by not taking any action against them.
