SEQUEL TO MOSLEM
GRAVE ALLEGATIONS OF BLUNDERING United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 24, 6.30 p.m.) CALCUTTA, March 23. The Nationalist Press is demanding an official inquiry and the exemplary punishment of the local officials for the mishandling of the situation at Karachi last week, when the troops fired on Moslem rioters, killing 35 and injuring over 100. Colonel V. Dashwood, commanding the second Royal Sussex, donating a fund to assist the families of those killed, said the troops bitterly regretted the part they were compelled to play, especially in a city, where they had lived in peace for nearly five years.
