Earlier in July, a case of sexual assault and murder shook Khokhrapar Malir Extension Colony, after the body of 16-year-old Areeba was found in a street with a noose around her neck.

SHO Khokhrapar stated that the victim's father suspected that area residents might be involved. Based on the information, police carried out a raid and took three men into custody, including two brothers living in the same neighbourhood.

Areeba was reportedly returning home from her uncle's house, carrying a dish of food, when the incident took place. Investigators recovered one of her sandals from the arrested suspects' house and found the food in a plastic bag on their rooftop.
