The body of a woman, allegedly killed by her father, has still not been recovered from their house, even after three weeks. Arzana Sheikh had refused to marry an old man upon which her father took her life and buried her in their veranda. The police say that the post-mortem of the body cannot be conducted unless a medical board is set up. A dispute among the doctors of Sukkur and Larkana has kept the board from being formed. The Chandka Medical College refused to comply with the court order, according to them.
