 | | ISLAMABAD, Oct 27, 2001: The Qarshi Foundation, on the recommendation of jail authorities, paid Rs630,000 as Diyat for a man who had destroyed three organs of his wife, Zainab Noor, by electric shocks, despite all his pretensions to piety. |
 | | The owner of the Qarshi Dawa Khana, Iqbal Qarshi, was not available for comments when the Qarshi Foundation office was contacted to ascertain as to why it had paid Diyat for a person who had committed a crime, on hearing the details of which, every civilized person would shudder. |
 | | However, an official of the Qarshi Foundation, who identified himself as supervisor Azhar, told Dawn on telephone that Qarshi Foundation had made a collective payment of about Rs10 million for those convicts who were languishing in jails dueto their inability to pay Diyat. |
