BADIN: Three senior police officials in Badin were sentenced to six months jail each on Saturday for the illegal detention of estranged PPP leader Zulfikar Mirza’s aide in 2015. Haji Panah Mallah, Mirza’s aide, in May 2015 had filed an application in a Badin district and sessions court complaining that his son, Deedar Mallah, had been in unlawful confinement for more than a week at the Matli police station. The court asked Senior Civil Judge Abdul Sattar Khaskheli to pay a surprise visit to the police station. During his visit, Judge Khaskheli found Deedar Mallah confined in the lock-up. The convicts were sent to jail in Hyderabad after the verdict was announced.
