Councillor hacks woman's arm
MULTAN: A councillor-elect and his two brothers allegedly chopped off a woman's arm for not voting for him in the August 18 local council elections, on Friday. Councillor-elect Muhammad Iqbal Kaliani and his brothers, Jalal Kaliani and Bilal Kaliani, trespassed into the house of a labourer, Ghulam Qadir, in Jalalpur Khakhi village when Qadir was not at home. They tortured Qadir's wife because she had refused to vote for Iqbal Kaliani in the elections. The men later hacked her arm with a hatchet. The accused also fired in the air to threaten the villagers who had gathered to help the woman.
