The officer investigating the murder case of a 12-year-old domestic help child who died after secvere torture by the owners, submitted an interim challan in the court of Judicial Magistrate East in Karachi City Court.
The officer informed the court that the post-mortem report had not yet been received and requested more time to submit the final challan.

The court also ordered the exhumation of the deceased’s grave. Meanwhile, the two defendants, including accused woman Shireen, had their bail applications denied by the sessions court. They have applied for bail at the Sindh High Court (SHC) and are currently in judicial custody. The police reportedly found murderous tools at Shireen’s home.
The case was registered against the accused on the complaint of the deceased’s father, Rafiq, under murder provisions.
