[DAWN] SUKKUR: A police team led by an SHO had to pay the price for killing a man, stated to be a thief, some 18 months ago, as tribal elders have already imposed a fine of Rs5.4 million on three of the team's members while some others are yet to be 'prosecuted'.SHO Gul Mohammad of the A-Section cop shoppe, Kandhkot, was the first official 'convicted' by a jirga (tribal court) that heard the case a few weeks after the death of Challo Bajkani, a resident of Qambar Bajkani village situated in the katcha area of Kandhkot, in firing by the police team. The SHO was ordered to pay Rs3 million to the heirs when the jirga after hearing the aggrieved side and the defendants found the entire team guilty of Bajkani's murder.
Another member of the police team, Nabi Dad Mangi, was 'convicted' in another jirga held a few months later and was ordered to pay Rs1.2 million to the heirs.
