Furkan Awan | 8 years ago | Reply There are CCTV camera's everywhere in the Corridor and in the Lobby even in the electric Lifts. If the killer is an elite member then he might evade the police prosecution , i assume the killer is an elite who called her in an elite Hotel and then killed her.Staying Overnight and she was the resident of Batapur which clearly shows that she belonged to a middle class family and she was being exploited to the extreme before she was murdered.Who knows the autopsy gets riddled by the elite and all the evidences gets scrapped.Injustice is on the RISE in PAKISTAN and soon this will take the very peace completely if not cured soon.May the Girl the Justice she needs.
