Man injured by own sons dies

BADIN: A 65-year-old man allegedly injured in a gruesome attack by his sons in Tarai town near Fazil Rahoo (formerly Golarchi) town over a property matter died while being transported to a major hospital in Hyderabad.

According to the area police and neighbours, the man, Siddique Memon, was mercilessly beaten with clubs by his sons, Javed Memon and Nadeem Memon on Thursday morning. They were forcing him to transfer his farmland in their name.

The father reportedly wanted to sell his property, situated in deh Aseli, to a potential buyer and keep the money with himself.

Critically injured Siddique Memon was initially taken to the Fazil Rahoo Taluka Hospital for emergency treatment and later referred to the Hyderabad Civil Hospital for advanced treatment.

However, he succumbed to his injuries before reaching Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, police raided houses of the suspects to arrest them but they had fled the area. The SHO concerned said that a hunt for the suspects was underway and they would be netted soon.
