The miscreants attacked the small temple and the adjoining homes belonging to the minority community in Sindh’s Kashmore. The miscreants fired indiscriminately at the temple built by the local Hindu community, prompting a police force led by Kashmore SSP Irfan Sammo to reach the spot. The incident reportedly took place within the jurisdiction of Ghouspur police station.
Bandit Abdul Malik Jagirani has taken responsibility for the rocket launcher attack on the temple in Sindh’s Kashmore region. The accused in a purported video said, “The purpose of recording this video is the recovery of Seema. If Seema is not handed over to us, any temple wouldn’t be safe in Pakistan. Yesterday night I fired on a Temple and will do this in future as well.”
Seema Haider Jakhrani’s PUBG love tale has sparked an uproar in Pakistan. In retaliation, the dacoits in the Kashmore and Ghotki riverine districts allegedly vowed to target Hindu sites of worship and community members.
The Uttar Pradesh Police claimed that Seema (30) and Sachin Meena (22) lived in Greater Noida, near Delhi, where he owned a supply shop. While Seema was detained for unlawfully entering India without a visa card, Sachin was held for harbouring illegal migrants. Recently, the couple was freed from jail.
A 150-year-old Hindu temple situated in Karachi’s Soldier Bazaar was demolished on Friday (July 14) when there was no electricity in the locality. The bulldozers and diggers arrived at the location to raze out the temple premises. While they razed the inside structure of the temple, the outer walls and the main gate remained intact.
