'Marriage arranger's face blackened

 

CHITRAL 22 Oct 08:  Makhmoor Khan of Bakarabad village Chitral town area, was paraded in Chitral bazar with his face blackened on Tuesday by activists of a local organisation 'Anjuman Dawat Azeemat' (Invitation to virtue), working in Chitral for many years. Makhmoor is accused of being a habitual commission agent in human trafficking, in the garb of arranging marriages of young Chitrali girls of poor and hard pressed families to unsuitable outsiders who are at times octogenarians, without ascertaining their credentials, often leading to ruination of the girls life. Police arrested two members of the society which enjoys good reputation in the public for fighting against human trafficking in the name of marriage. Students joined by local shopkeepers and civil society members protested outside the police station for release of the arrested students namely Muhammad Karim and Farooq Khan. --(CN report)
