Criminal allegations The 2018 triple murder case drew widespread attention in Sindh after advocate and activist Umme Rubab Chandio accused PPP lawmakers Sardar Ahmed Khan Chandio and Burhan Khan Chandio, along with several others, of involvement in the killings of her father Mukhtiar Ahmed Chandio, grandfather Karamullah Chandio, and uncle Kamaluddin Chandio in Mehar. The accused denied the allegations and maintained their innocence throughout the trial.

In March 2026, a Model Criminal Court in Dadu acquitted all eight accused after a seven-year trial and nearly 400 hearings. Following the verdict, Umme Rubab Chandio said she would challenge the acquittal in higher courts.
