Sindh Human Rights Commission (SHRC) of Pakistan has taken suo-moto notice of landlords' brutality to set peasants houses on fire in Sanghar district and has written a letter to the Shaheed Benazriabad DIG police to ensure action on the case against the culprits and provide justice to the poor farmers, media reports said.

The landlords namely Rasool Bux Gundaro and Sultan Ali with the help of their people set two houses of peasants on fire in Chak96 within Mangli Police jurisdiction when poor farmers demanded their due share from the wheat crop, reports The Express Tribune.

The peasants, Hout Shaikh and Naib Shaikh with their family were living on the agricultural land where the dispute occurred and it went viral on social media.

"After harvesting, the landlords tried to take away all the wheat stock, but peasants argued to get their share that ensued to the dispute among them," SHRC Chairperson Iqbal Detho was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune.

Initially, police were reluctant to register a case against the landlords on the complaint of sharecroppers.
