A 10-year-old girl was raped and strangled to death in Karachi. As per the details, an 18-year-old tenant, who rented the child’s father’s house, raped and then strangled the girl. The incident occurred in the Mehmoodabad neighbourhood of Karachi.
Police took the girl to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, where she was pronounced dead.
Pervaiz, the girl’s father, told police that he worked as a labourer and that a few months ago, they rented a room in the upper half of the house to Zeeshan, who worked as a loader at his wife’s relative’s warehouse.
He further said that his daughter used to go to Zeeshan’s room to give him food. On Saturday, she did not return from Zeeshan’s room which made her family suspicious and they started looking for the girl.
Zeeshan has been arrested by the police and he has confessed to raping and murdering the minor girl.
According to the doctors, the girl was murdered after being brutally tortured.
At least 133 women were kidnapped and as many as 85 were subjected to rape in Pakistan in the month of July alone, a report has revealed.
