I was watching the details of SC registrar Syed Hammad Raza’s mysterious murder on Geo news this morning when I saw another breaking news about the arrest of DIG SalimUllah Khan by Sindh police from Islamabad.

The name suddenly rang a bell in my head and reminded me of that famous bonded labour case of Haari/peasant Manoo Bheel which got very famous in 2006 and early 2007. DIG SalimUllah Khan was the main investigation officer of the case of Manoo Bheel in Sindh.
