A complete inquiry was conducted into the case of the rape of a woman named Asia Khoso by police officers in Tehsil Thal of Jacobabad on the instructions of the IG Sindh, the Minister of Interior and DIG Larkana.

According to SSP Jacobabad Muhammad Kaleem Malik, after the investigation, it was proven that six police officers gang-raped the girl, Asia Khoso.

According to sources, a week ago, a clash broke out between the Khoso and Tanori communities in the limits of Thal RD 44 over a black money case, in which a 50-year-old man, Alam Tanori, was killed while the accused fled.

The Tanori community registered a case against the Khoso community. The police arrested a youth, two girls and an old woman for failing to arrest the suspects in a murder case

They were kept in custody for 6 days, and a woman named Asia Khoso revealed that 6 police officers gang-raped her for six days during her detention.
