UMERKOT: Scores of people, including women of Bheel community, staged a protest demonstration outside the local press club to protest against the failure of police in arresting accused involved in abduction and rape of Naseeban Bheel.

The protesters, carrying banners and placards, were raising slogans against Umerkot Police. They accused the local Pakistan Peoples Party member Sindh Assembly Ali Mardan Shah for patronising the culprits,” he said. Talking to journalists, the protesters alleged that those who had abducted Naseeban had raped her and later she was recovered. They said that none of the accused had been nabbed so far despite passage of a week since the registration of the FIR at Khokhrapar Police Station under Terrorism Act.
