A mother in Bahawalpur allegedly killed her 16-year-old daughter after her daughter objected to her smoking habit.

The incident occurred in Basti Sokar under the City Yazman Police station jurisdiction on Sunday.

According to reports, the accused woman, Nabila, grew frustrated with her teenage daughter Aisha, who regularly objected to her mother’s smoking.

Police claim the situation escalated on Saturday night when Aisha once again raised concerns about her mother’s smoking. Nabila allegedly flew into a rage, overpowered her daughter, and strangled her to death.

Authorities received information about the incident and dispatched forensic and crime scene units to collect evidence. Police arrested the accused woman at the scene.

Aisha’s body was shifted to Yazman THQ Hospital for postmortem examination. Police continue their investigation into the case.

Local police have recovered the body of a woman who had been missing for over a month from inside her own house in Kabirwala after an investigation revealed that she was killed by her daughter-in-law and grandson.

According to police, the case initially began as a missing person report filed by the woman’s grandson. In the application, he told authorities that his grandmother had disappeared from the house without explanation.

Police said the initial report raised questions during routine verification, prompting investigators to widen the scope of the inquiry. Officers carried out repeated visits, questioned family members, and reviewed inconsistencies in statements provided during the investigation.

During questioning, police said the woman’s daughter-in-law and grandson confessed to killing her. Investigators stated that the suspects strangled the woman and later buried her body inside the house in an attempt to conceal the crime.

“The missing person case was converted into a murder investigation after evidence and statements pointed towards foul play,” a police official said, confirming that the body was recovered from within the premises.

Police took both suspects into custody following the recovery and initiated further inquiry to document the sequence of events. Authorities said legal proceedings were started after registering a case against the accused.

Investigators are continuing to collect evidence, including forensic material, as part of the ongoing inquiry.

A young woman was reportedly gang-raped by a social media acquaintance and his accomplice after being lured to Sahiwal from Tandlianwala under the pretext of a job offer, police reported Saturday. 

As per the authorities, the woman, who hails from Bherwana village in Tandlianwala, developed an online connection with a social media influencer from Sahiwal, which eventually grew into friendship. 

During their chats, the accused promised to help her find employment, citing his political ties with the ruling party.

The woman informed the police that she was invited to Sahiwal for a meeting on Thursday evening. Once she arrived, the accused allegedly picked her up in a vehicle and took her to a house where she was given a soft drink believed to have been laced with intoxicants. 

She was later subjected to sexual assault by the accused and his accomplice.

A man suspected of killing his former fiancé is on the run after the woman’s assaulted body was found inside a house in Karachi’s Surjani Town. 

The victim, identified as 25-year-old Komal, was found murdered inside a house in the area on Wednesday. Police have named her former fiancé as the prime suspect, who escaped after the killing.

Komal was discovered dead inside a house in Surjani Town’s Sector 50-E, according to the police.

Police in Abbottabad have recovered gold, bank cheques worth Rs12.3 million and other evidence in the abduction and murder case of Dr Warda Mushtaq, as investigators continue to piece together the sequence of events leading to her death.

The police reported that these findings were obtained from the spouse of the main suspect, Rida Jadoon, following revelations made by the suspects already in custody. 

Authorities confiscated ten gold receipts, cheques worth Rs12.3 million, and the murder weapon, a rope. The recovery of these items occurred during raids as part of the investigation. 

Dr. Warda, a medical officer at the District Headquarters Hospital in Abbottabad, was kidnapped from outside the hospital on December 4. Her body was discovered four days later in the Lari Binota area along Thandiani Road. Investigators have connected the case to a dispute regarding gold that Dr. Warda had entrusted to Rida for safekeeping two years prior to her death. 

According to the police, Rida contacted Dr. Warda on the day of the incident and requested her to come and collect the gold. Investigators have stated that Dr. Warda was taken to an under-construction site in the Jinnahabad area, where she was strangled. The police indicated that she was killed within an hour of her abduction. 

Abbottabad District Police Officer Haroon Rasheed mentioned that the postmortem examination revealed a fractured neck bone, with strangulation and suffocation identified as the cause of death.

Four individuals Rida, Nadeem and Pervaiz, and Rida’s husband Waheed had been arrested in connection with the case. 

Another suspect, Shamraiz, was shot during a police operation earlier this week. Authorities indicated that he opened fire when officers tried to apprehend him. He got killed in the return fire. His body was transported to Ayub Medical Complex.

Days after his abduction, the bullet-ridden body of a Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) official was discovered in a deserted area of Balochistan’s Panjgur district.

As per the details, the official, identified as Khalil Ahmed, had been abducted at gunpoint from the Tusp region of the district.

With his remains subsequently found at a deserted location in the same area, police said that the body exhibited signs of torture and had multiple gunshot wounds.

Earlier, residents reported finding a body in the Chakul area, located on the outskirts of Panjgur town. Upon receiving this information, police arrived at the scene, took possession of the body and transported it to the district hospital.

Following the recovery of the body, the deceased’s family gathered outside the district police officer’s office in Panjgur. The family held a protest, demanding the swift apprehension of those responsible for the abduction and murder. 

Protesters claimed that police had been alerted about the kidnapping of the CTD official but failed to take action to save him.

Police officials and representatives from the district administration engaged in discussions with the protesters. After negotiations, the family members concluded their protest and departed. 

No group has taken responsibility for the murder while authorities confirmed that probe is ongoing to ascertain the motive behind the abduction and killing.

The primary suspect in the murder case of Abbottabad’s Dr Warda Mushtaq was killed in a police encounter, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police said.

According to the police, Shamrez was killed during a raid that came as he continued to evade arrest since the murder. Other suspects are already in police custody.

Per the details of the shootout, the suspect fired upon police when they approached him. He was shot dead as a result of retaliatory fire.

While his remains were taken to Ayub Medical Complex and access for media was limited, Abbottabad District Police Officer (DPO) Haroon Rasheed has revealed further details of the case.

He said that Dr Warda had entrusted 67 tolas of gold to her friend Rida for safekeeping two years ago. A conflict arose when Dr Warda sought the return of the gold, leading to her abduction and eventual murder.

“Dr Warda was killed on the same day she was abducted. The postmortem examination revealed that her neck bone was fractured, with strangulation and suffocation listed as the causes of death. Her body also exhibited clear signs of torture,” Rasheed said.

The police had earlier arrested Wahid, the spouse of one of the female suspects, and applied sections of the Anti-Terrorism Act against those in custody.

Dr Warda, who worked as a medical officer at the District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital Abbottabad, went missing before her body was discovered on the night of December 4, based on information from her friend and accomplices.

Her father had filed a report at the Cantonment police station following her disappearance.

Investigators determined that on December 4, Rida contacted Dr Warda at the DHQ hospital and lured her to an under-construction house near Jadoon Plaza on Rehman Street. 

Law enforcement analysed CCTV footage, call logs and interviewed over 35 individuals, which resulted in the arrests of Rida, Nadeem Zaib s/o Aurangzeb, and Pervez s/o Ayub. 

During questioning, the suspects confessed to kidnapping and murdering Dr Warda besides burying her body in a pit in the Lari Banota forest. Pervez later directed investigators to the body.
