Second case of sexual assault in Punjab in one day
Earlier on Wednesday, the dead body of a seven-year-old girl, Zainab was found from a garbage pile near Shahbaz Road after four days of her disappearance. It was later revealed by an initial postmortem report that the minor was strangled to death after being raped multiple times.
Zainab had gone to her tuition centre but did not return. Her parents had gone to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, and the girl was living with her aunts.
Zainab became yet another victim of Kasur’s dirty legacy, a legacy which has seen numerous innocent souls falling prey to the monstrosities of men.
People have taken to social media to voice their anger at this horrendous crime which has become a norm not just in Kasur, but parts of Punjab.
Only a stone’s throw from CM House.
