Tahir Complaint

October 12, 2009 The District Co-ordination Officer (DCO) Tehsil Kamalia District Toba Tek Singh SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR INTERVENTION IN THE MATTER OF FILING OF „FIRST INFORMATION REPORT“ AT POLICE STATION PIR MAHAL, TEHSIL KAMALIA, DISTRICT TOBA TEK SINGH

Most Respected Sir This is a very serious and important complaint which needs your urgent and honest attention. In view of the fact that Government of Pakistan has recently taken notice of persecution of minorities living in Pakistan, it has become necessary for the POLICE to understand the rights of the minorities who should also be considered as Pakistanis and deserve attention whenever it is needed. I, Manzoor Hussain s/o Ch. Muhammad Shafi, resident of Chak No. 664 / 5 GB, Tehsil Kamalia, District Toba Tek Singh hereby draw your kind attention towards the criminal act of certain unknown terrorists / criminals / miscreants who committed the offence of shooting at my house situated at the above address between the midnight of October 5,2009 and October 6, 2009. Since my address falls in the jurisdiction of Police Station Pir Mahal, accordingly, I had approached with the complaint to the said Police Station on October 6, 2009 along with some eye witnesses in order to file FIRST INFORMATION REPORT (FIR). However, the STATION HOUSE OFFICER (SHO) Mr. Ilyas Jutt refused to file the FIR on my request and asked me to leave the police station after causing great embarrassment for me in front of the eye witnesses of the incident . The act of SHO Mr. Ilyas Jutt was in contravention of Section 154 / 155 of the CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 1963 as well as POLICE ORDER 2002. This act of refusal by the SHO was of great disappointment for me being law-abiding and peaceful citizen of Pakistan as my legitimate request for lodging the FIR on account of an unlawful and criminal act by certain criminals was turned down by the SHO of Pir Mahal police station without giving any proper or acceptable justification. I consider this act of the SHO Mr. Ilyas Jutt of police station Pir Mahal as illegal, immoral, unjustifiable,

unfounded, unethical and unconstitutional. I, therefore, intend to submit this formal complaint to your honour to kindly use your administrative power and give urgent order for an investigation into the incident of shooting at my house on the date above mentioned and filing of FIR by the SHO police station Pir Mahal. I am ready and willing to cooperate with the police in the investigation of the shooting incident while i can also produce eye witnesses of this incident. Your urgent intervention into my case shall be greatly appreciated while I remain,

Yours truly,
