| 2018-01-02 |
| [DAWN] Nagarparkar police were on Sunday looking into the veracity of a telephonic conversation between some local news hounds and a Hindu woman whose husband had lodged an FIR of her alleged kidnapping at the Nagarparkar cop shoppe a couple of days back. The woman, Kaisri Kolhi, using her personal mobile phone, told the news hounds that she embraced Islam at the hands of Pir Mohammad Ayub Jan Sarhandi at his Gulzar-e-Khalil seminary [situated in Samaro town of Umerkot district] and adopted "Kulsoom" as her Islamic name on Dec 30. She said she had now contracted a freewill marriage. The Nikahnama was also sent to the news hounds through Whatsapp. Kaisri’s husband, Roji Kolhi, had lodged the FIR (62 /2017) on Friday stating that his 19-year-old wife, Kaisri Kolhi, was kidnapped from their house in Kothara village near Nagarparkar. Kulsoom named her [new] husband as Mohammad Ali Khoso, who along with a close relative of his, Ali Nawaz Khoso, was nominated as her kidnapper. Mohammad Ali Khoso also spoke to the news hounds over his personal mobile phone and demanded protection for Kulsoom from her family and relatives. The woman said she had been in love with Mohammad Ali Khoso and made her best efforts to convince her family on the proposal but in vain. She said her parents forcibly married her off to Roji on Dec 4 but she left the house to contract a freewill marriage. Tharparkar SSP Ameer Saud Magsi told this news hound that the FIR would be quashed only when the couple satisfied a court of law with the relevant documents and recorded their statements. |
