Mujahidur Rahman demands justice and security

By Zahiruddin

CHITRAL: Mujahidur Rahman, a resident of Jughoor village of Chitral town, has demanded of the government to provide him justice and safety against his elder brother who attempted to murder him on Saturday evening. Addressing a press conference in the general ward of DHQ hospital here on Sunday, he alleged that the district nazim Maghfirat Shah is using his influence to save his opponent and the police has yet to arrest him. He said that he had a land dispute with his brother Jamshedur Rahman who called him to his home Saturday evening for compromise but he allegedly opened fire on him leading to critical injuries. He said that he was saved miraculously from the pistol firing on him from close range and was admitted to the hospital. He said that although the police has registered case against the accused Jamshed and his accomplices but no arrest has been made due to the interference of the district nazim. He alleged that some months ago, the local police had implicated him in false case of forgery to pressurize him to resign his claim on the disputed land. Expressing his fear, he said that the accused will go Scot free due to the explicit support of the district nazim. He said that the police did not bother to post its men in the hospital to provide him protection while the accused is free and can attack on him again. Mr. Rahman claimed that due to his implication in the false case, he lost his job in Saudi Arabia and was rendered jobless. He demanded of the chief minister, chief secretary and the IG police to rush to his rescue against the perpetrations of his opponents who are openly backed by the district nazim.
