| 2005-05-16 | |
MULTAN: The face of a prayer leader was blackened on the orders of a panchayat (tribal jury) headed by Rana Faiz Bakhsh Jhakkar in Chah Ghupwala (Shujabad), about 40 kilometres southwest of Multan, on Sunday. People had caught Maulvi Ghulam Qadir, 70, sexually assaulting seven-year-old girl Safia. The girl was taken to Nishtar Hospital in Multan in critical condition. The local landlord did not let Safia's parents take the case to the police and instead sent it to a panchayat, which ordered the maulvi's face to be blackened.
