The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday ordered the police to register a case against former Punjab chief minister Dost Muhammad Khosa, son of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Zulfiqar Khosa, for allegedly kidnapping and murdering his wife Sapna. Announcing a detailed verdict of actress Sapna Khan’s murder case, the LHC also ordered appointment of a senior officer to investigate the matter.
Justice Sheikh Najamul Hasan criticised police officials for refusing to register the case earlier. After the court’s proceedings, the victim’s attorney wrote a letter to the Lahore capital city police officer (CCPO) to register a case against Khosa. In December, Missal Khan, Sapna’s father accused Khosa of kidnapping and murdering his daughter while Khosa levelled the same charges against his former wife’s family.
