NAUNDERO: The Shaheri Action Committee (SAC) leaders rejected the announcement of Rs500,000 as a reward money for a person who would inform whereabouts of Sahil Korejo, a child who mysteriously disappeared on Nov 5, 2015 from Shahnawaz Colony in Naundero.
Since then, the Larkana police have failed to recover him. Larkana senior superintendent of police (SSP) Tanveer Tunio has recently announced the reward. The parents allege that Sahil was kidnapped.
In their address to the media, SAC leaders Ghulam Hyder Narejo, Javed Bhutto, Subhan Khatoon and her husband Zahoor Korejo (parents of Sahil Korejo) accused SSP Tanveer Tunio of misleading the court by announcing the reward and termed it as a ‘conspiracy’.
They said that the police constantly requested the Sindh High Court (SHC) to dispose of the suo moto notice while the court rejected their plea and gave them extension to recover the child. They accused the police of presenting bogus reports in the SHC about the investigation. “It has been 29 months since he was lost. He must be eight-year-old by now,” Subhan Khatoon said, child’s mother. She claimed that she asked every notable of Naundero for help but no one responded. Zahoor Korejo said that he met PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in Naundero where he directed Sindh chief minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and SSP Kamran Nawaz to find the missing child but no clue has been found.
