Karachi (HRNW) The Karachi police have written a request to a district and sessions court of Mirpurkhas for the exhumation of the body of the doctor-blogger who had died by suicide in DHA on August 18.
A request was initially submitted at a court in Karachi and was refused. The court ruled that the decision should be made by the court where the victim was laid to rest.
If permission is granted, a team of doctors, surgeons, police officers and medico legal officers will visit the graveyard in Mirpurkhas where the deceased’s body is buried. The body will be exhumed for an autopsy.
The decision was announced after the victim’s father claimed that she was drugged and raped by her ‘friends’.
According to the police, the exhumation and post-mortem examination is important as it will determine the truth behind the father’s allegations.
The 24-year-old woman was brought to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre on August 18 night in a pulse-less condition, according to the hospital’s executive director, Dr Seemin Jamali.
