Farishta murder case: Judicial inquiry suggests action against police
The report said the behavior of police officials with the victims family was not good.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - A judicial inquiry into the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a 10-year-old girl has been completed.
Farishta went missing on May 15 at 5:30pm from her house in Islamabad’s Chak Shahzad. Her body was found in a nearby forest on May 20. One of the issues raised during the investigation was that the SHO of the Shahzad Town police station initially refused to register a case of her disappearance. He told the family that it seemed as if the girl had run off herself.
The Judicial inquiry of the case held police responsible for the incident and suggested an action against the police officials.
The report said the behavior of police officials with the victim’s family was not good. It added that the delay in the postmortem report was due to absence of medico legal officer in night.
