Sindh police submitted a report in the Supreme Court on Monday in a case of Umerkot, Sindh, in which a feudal lord of the area had thrashed the station house officer (SHO) of the local police station and got his men released from the lock-up. Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar had taken notice of abuse of power by the feudal lord and immediate release of culprits on political intervention.

The CJP also called report from the IGP Sindh within five days. The notice was taken on media reports that Nawab Zaid Talpur along with co-accused forcibly entered police station Kunri, district Umerkot, and humiliated and maltreated the SHO. Reportedly Nawab Zaid Talpur instructed the SHO to sit on the ground and speak to him and he himself sat in the chair of the SHO. The court adjourned the hearing of the case for three weeks.
