LARKANA: A young woman was rescued by police from village Bhoot Kharos when she was about to be shot dead on the pretext of Karo-Karo within the limits of Ketty Mumtaz Police Station, near here Thursday.

The woman, Mema Kharos, was admitted to the Rural Health Centre in Naundero where she was shifted to Chandka Medical College Hospital for unavailability of a doctor. SHO Abdul Wahab Masan told reporters that police rescued the young woman when she was already tortured by her husband and he was planning to kill her.

The affected woman said that 12 days ago, her marriage took place on Watta Satta basis with Daim Kharos, who is her maternal cousin, and his sister was married to her brother Naeem.

She said after marriage, her husband asked not to go to parents and yesterday he started torturing her and fired at her due to which she was injured. She alleged that when her husband was beating her mercilessly, her father Khan Muhammad, father-in-law Mehar and maternal uncle Saleh were also standing, but they did not listen to any of her cries and did nothing to prevent her from torturing and just kept on watching.

She said police came on the spot and got her rescued and shifted to RHC Naundero from where they had brought her here for treatment & further management. SHO Masan further said: “When we reached the spot we found the woman fainted.” He said there was no doctor at RHC so they shifted her to Larkana. He said one of the accused Mehar Kharos had been arrested along with the weapon and search for others was underway. He said FIR will be registered if any of the relatives wanted to lodge the case.
