LARKANA: A eunuch Murk Faqeer protested at Jinnah here on Monday against an influential transgender of the same community Rashna alias Rashid who is allegedly demanding Rs1000 daily extortion from her or her head will be shaved and acid will be thrown on her face.
According to details, Murk Faqeer, resident of the Old Bus Stand area, said while crying during the protest that Rashna is very influential and has contacts everywhere including police.
She said Rashna along with her ten companions forcibly entered her home today and started breaking into my household and they also beat me mercilessly and tried to throw acid on my face along with shaving my head but I managed to climb over the wall and escaped. She further alleged that she went to civil lines police station but they did not lodge a report against Rashna. She claimed that they took away one and half tola gold, Rs40,000 cash, four drums and my makeup material worth thousands of rupees as she is earning livelihood by going door to door where a son is born or a wedding is taking place.
She said that previously also she had demanded extortion but on my refusal she had warned me of dire consequences hence I had protested against her high-handedness and the DIGP Larkana office resolved the issue. Now she has once again resorted to issuing me life threats.
Commissioner, Larkana Division, Ghanwar Ali Leghari, was fortunately coming to the press club at that time and he enquired about her grievances. After hearing her complaint he directed the cops to bring both parties to his office on Tuesday to resolve the problem.
