The Punjab Police sent The Minor to a Dar-ul–Aman (shelter home) on the orders of the court, Head of Prime Minister’s Strategic Reforms Unit Salman Sufi tweeted.

“Punjab Gov has secured The Minor at Dar UL Aman under strict security and protection after a court order. Sindh Government has been requested to dispatch a child protection bureau team to take her to her parents. Mr Zaheer is being traced for arrest.”

The Minor appeared before a magistrate’s court and claimed that her life is in danger and requested the court to send her to a shelter home.

Lawyer Jibran Nasir tweeted, “To save their own life Zaheer/accomplices will go to any length. Please see the application submitted in name of The Minor. She says my relationship with my husband Zaheer isn’t good, I have separated from my husband & have no protection from my Parents hence I need to go to Darul Amaan.”
