Face of man accused of women trafficking blackened in Chitral

People belonging to all walks of life in Chitral
have demanded stern action against a resident of Bakarabad
for his alleged involvement in women trafficking.
The local people also alleged that Mhmoor had been
selling innocent girls aged between 13 and 18 years
to old aged people from down districts after getting
huge amount from them under the pretext of arranging
marriages.
The local residents and workers of Anjuman Dawat Azeemat
beat him up and blackened his face and paraded him in
the bazaar. He was later handed over to police who
registered an FIR against him under the charge of
women trafficking.
The police also lodged a cross-FIR on the complaint of
the accused and arrested two members of Dawat Azeemat
for attacking him.
As a result, hundreds of students of different colleges,
members of the said NGO and trade unions protested
against the arrest of the two members of the NGO who
were produced in a civil court in presence of hundreds
of students.
The angry protesters also chanted slogans against police
and demanded action against the administration and
transfer of the DPO. The police refused to provide
any comments on the issue.--GH Farooqui
