Meharuddin, a reporter of daily Sindhi newspaper “Kawish” and Sarwar Jamali, a reporter of daily Sindhi newspaper “Koshish”, told a press conference at the Hyderabad Press Club that they were beaten up by the police on the directives of Mr Rahoo and
his brother Aslam Rahoo. The journalists said this was done because they had filed stories against the provincial minister and his brother. They said the provincial minister was forcing them not to file the stories.
