The protesters burnt tyres and blocked main roads with the local bar association calling on all lawyers to boycott court proceedings. The private school association also called for a complete shutdown of all private schools.

The mutilated body of a seven-year-old girl who was allegedly raped and killed in Faisalabad’s Jaranwala district was recovered from a drain in Dijkot while the post-mortem report confirmed the deceased was sexually abused.
