| 2019-06-25 |
| [DAWN] An under-trial prisoner (UTP) died under controversial circumstances inside the district jail, Malir, officials said on Sunday. His relatives and other prisoners alleged that the UTP, Sagheer Tanoli, died from torture as there were visible marks on the body. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... prison authorities claimed that he was brought to jail in an ’injured’ condition and he died during treatment at the jail hospital. The UTP was arrested by the Saeedabad police a couple of days ago. The police said that he got injuries on the shoulder when he was taken into custody. A case was registered against him under sections 380 (theft in dwelling house, etc), 457 (lurking house-trespass or house-breaking by night in order to commit offence punishable with imprisonment), 109 (abetment) and 34 (common intention) of the Pakistain Penal Code. He was sent to the Malir prison on June 13 and on the night of June 22, his condition deteriorated and he died at the medical ward/hospital of the prison. |
