Muhammad Urs Khaskheli, a peasant of Goth Gul Muhammad Khasheli told journalists in Badin Press Club on Friday that landlords of their Goth had grabbed a large plot in the village and were constructing their poultry farms, flour mills and shops there.
He said the landlords had asked the villagers to leave the rest of Goth and on their refusal, had begun harassing them with the help of the police.
He said a fake case was lodged against 12-year-old Mujeeb* accusing him of raping a 45-years-old married woman belonging to the Kolhi tribe.
Despite a medical board report declaring that the boy was a minor, the police arrested and sent the child to jail.
Khaskheli appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan and Chief Justice of the Sindh High Court to take notice of the atrocities of local police and landlords in the area.
