He informed us that according to the FIR filed in the case, &#8220;Tejhan, 40, wife of Herchand Bheel resident of Vehro Sharif, had an altercation with her spouse, therefore she approached the civil court in Umerkot for dissolution of their marriage. On Monday, when she was returning back home, after attending the hearing of a case, she was attacked by eight persons who dragged her on a road, pulled her hair and humiliated her. They attempted to kidnap her. She cried for help and as a result, the police rushed to the site and saved her. All the accused managed to flee, except one Hemo Bheel. He was arrested by the police. Later, Tejhan&#8217;s relative Mangal Bheel lodged an FIR at Umerkot police station against eight persons identified as Hemo, Bhanji, Pehlaj, Somji, Ghaman, Togo, Jaipal Thakur and Herchand Bheel, her husband.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A case of domestic violence was given a false communal spin by BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa.
