HYDERABAD, July 24: Neither any high police official nor anyone from the provincial home department has contacted Aisha Malik with regard to cases against her husband, which are most likely based on false or blind FIRs.

In the meantime, she considers herself the happiest woman today after meeting her husband in Sukkur jail. Syed Sarim Burney of Ansar Burney Trust International accompanied her with her kids to the jail on Thursday and arranged her meeting with her husband.

The trust has filed applications for bail and quashment of FIRs in concerned courts and deposited Rs50,000 surety in the third case in which her husband, Zahid Malik, has already been granted bail Aisha, who had been left in the lurch by her brothers for the past three years as punishment for her second marriage now finds herself in a relatively comfortable position.

There is an outpouring of support for Aisah after her story made headlines in newspapers and was run during prime time in electronic media. Two Sindh ministers Rauf Siddiqui and Saussi Palejo have offered her job. Likewise, Colonel Nadeem of Bait-ul-Maal Karachi has promised her monetary assistance.

But disturbingly, no official from home or police department has approached her and run a check if the cases against her husband can be withdrawn because they appear to be mostly blind FIRs.

Aisha who belongs to a well-off family told Trust officials that her father had left property in the shape of orchards which were in the control of one of her brothers. Another brother, who was an advocate, was instrumental in sending her husband behind bars under blind FIRs, she said.

“To me it seems it’s her share in the father’s property which her brothers intend to deny her. That’s why she has been ditched and left with no other option but to take shelter in a mazar in Hyderabad after her husband was arrested,” Sarim Burney said.

She said that she wanted to sell her kids for their own safety and for collecting money to get her husband released given constant threats by her bothers, who were not ready to accept her second marriage.

Malik faces three cases filed in 2005 and pending trial before Additional Dsitrict Judge-II, Additional District Judge and Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate-II of Ghotki district. He was granted bail in a case but could not deposit surety.

An application for quashment of FIRs has been filed in the court in a case, lodged inn Ghotki police station. An application for bail has also been filed in a case that would be decided on Friday. “Zahid Malik has not been nominated in any FIR. He has been challaned on suspicion,” Burney said.

Aisha expressed the hope that her husband would soon be with her. She said that her brothers had threatened to kill her.

Her brother turned against her after she sought divorce from 55-year-old Haneef and decided to marry Malik around two years ago.
