The Judicial Magistrate South has referred the case of a mysterious death of a girl, whose body was recovered from Do Darya near Sea View, to a District and Sessions Court for further action after the investigating officer submitted the final challan of the case.
According to a document, the accused had secretly disposed of the victim's mobile phone to eliminate evidence of their crime. The accused, Bisma and Shan Salim, gave the phone to their accomplice, Waqas, on the day of the incident.
During the investigation, Waqas revealed that the screen of the victim's mobile phone was damaged, and he had hidden it in the trunk of his car. The police seized the phone from the vehicle upon identification. Additionally, the primary suspect, Shan, also concealed his phone after the incident, which has now been recovered.
Furthermore, the police also recorded the statement of Aradhna, an employee at Shan's hospital. She disclosed in her statement that Bisma, Shan, and Waqas removed the SIM card from the victim's phone and deleted any incriminating evidence. All suspects in the case have been arrested.
