GUJAR KHAN:


Seven-year-old Naila Bibi* was murdered after being allegedly molested by her cousin in Malot Kaswal, in the outskirts of Gujar Khan on Thursday.


The police said the mother of the victim, Nusrat*, left her only daughter at the house of her late husband’s elder brother as she had to attend a marriage ceremony.

On her return, she found her daughter missing from the house. She was told that Bibi had gone with her teenaged cousin, Ziarat, to buy some sweets from a nearby grocery shop.

Ghazanfar Ali, the girl’s uncle, said that after a brief search they found her body lying in a ditch and her cousin, who is in his mid-teens, was standing nearby.

The girl was assaulted and then stoned to death. Immediately after her body was discovered, Ziarat was overpowered and handed over to the local police.

The little girl was a nursery class student at a local school. Her father Zafar Iqbal was a brick kiln worker who died last year. She was laid to rest at a local graveyard on Friday morning. *Names have been changed  to protect identities
