Notable Sindhi writer and former Secretary of the Sindhi Language Authority, Taj Joyo, blamed police for breaking into his residence and whisking away two of his sons.
In a bare-bodied video recording, Joyo alleged that around 100 cops broke the gate of his house in the Gulistan-e-Sajjad area in the wee hours of Monday, taking away his sons.
Hoshu Joyo and Ruplo Joyo were produced before the Anti Terrorism Court, which sent them to jail on judicial remand. They are among 250 men and 40 women who were booked in an FIR at Cantt police station, on Sunday night, for raising anti-Pakistan and anti-army slogans during a rally.
The FIR was lodged on the state's complaint under sections 123/A, 341, 147,149, Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and 6/7 Anti Terrorism Act, with the complainant claiming that the accused individuals gathered near the press club on Sunday, and chanted provocative slogans. One of the accused alleged that the participants of the march were booked because they protested against the proposed six canals and corporate farming.
