OKARA: Two additional sessions judges on Friday issued orders to register cases against the DPO, the SP Investigation, three SHOs and 12 other policemen on the charges of illegally entering a house and abducting the DBA former general secretary.

About three days ago, ASI Mohsin Ali of Satghara police station illegally entered the house of Rai Tayyab Bashir advocate at Chak 15/GD, against which the lawyer filed a petition in the court of ASJ Asadullah Siraj. On Wednesday, when ASI Mohsin came to attend the court, a group of lawyers allegedly beat him. A case was registered in Sadr police station against Rai Tayyab Bashir and DBA former general secretary Rao Abid Mushtaq.

On Thursday night, Sadr police allegedly broke the gate of the house Rao Abid Mushtaq at Chak 53/2-L and committed atrocities on his family members. Later, the police allegedly picked up Rao Abid Mushtaq and shifted him to an unknown place. On Friday, Rao Jamil Akhtar advocate filed a petition in the court of ASJ Nadeem Shaukat Malik for recovery of Rao Abid Mushtaq. Rai Tayyab Bashir advocate also filed a same petition in the court of Azhar Ali Jafri ASJ.

Judge Nadeem Shaukat ordered the court bailiff Asif Nadeem to recover Rao Abid Mushtaq. The bailiff reported to the court that Rao Abid Mushtaq could not be traced at the Sadr, A-Division and B-Division police stations.

Both the courts issued orders to register cases against the DPO, the SP Investigation, SHOs of Sadr, Gogera and Satghara police stations, SI Zahid Ramzan and other policemen. Meanwhile, the DBA held a general house meeting chaired by bar president Rai Arshad Raza.

The house unanimously decided to observe strike against police. After the meeting, the lawyers observed strike and chanted slogans against police.
