SUKKUR: A woman from the Site Area of Sukkur staged a protest against the local police and alleged drug traffickers, appealing to senior authorities to provide protection for herself and her daughter and to order an impartial investigation into her allegations.
The protester, identified as Zahida Khoso, demonstrated against the Site Area Police Station and urged the SSP Sukkur and other senior police officials to take immediate notice of her case.
Speaking during the protest, Zahida Khoso said she has been married for the past 22 years and claimed that she has had no contact with her brothers since they allegedly became involved in drug trafficking. This claim has not been independently verified.
According to Zahida, police initially raided her house while searching for her brothers. She alleged that when they failed to find the suspects, officers later conducted another raid in her absence and detained her daughter and elderly mother.
She further alleged that police demanded Rs1 million for their release. Zahida claimed that when the alleged demand was not met, she and her daughter were later arrested from a marketplace and booked in what she described as a false case involving possession of hashish. These allegations have not been independently verified, and no official police response was available at the time of reporting.
The protester also stated that she had informed police that she had no involvement with her relatives’ alleged criminal activities. Following this, she alleged that some of her relatives accused her of bringing dishonor to the family and began issuing death threats against her.
Zahida Khoso appealed to the SSP Sukkur, the Inspector General (IG) of Sindh Police, and other senior authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly, ensure her safety and that of her daughter, and provide them with justice.
At the time of publication, Site Area Police had not issued an official response to the allegations. The claims made by the protester remain unverified, and the matter has not yet been adjudicated by a court.
