The victim was later laid to rest amid tears and sobs. Police launched a search operation in the area to arrest the culprits.

Last week, police arrested three suspects for their alleged involvement in raping and killing a nine-year-old girl at Lahori Gate.

One of the suspects is the girl’s maternal uncle with whom she lived, along with her mother, after the parents divorced over a year ago. These days, the girl’s mother is in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah and the girl was staying with her maternal uncles.
