Last month, a first information report (FIR) was filed over the brutal sexual assault and murder of a minor girl whose body was found in the Bhittaiabad neighbourhood of Karachi's Gulistan-e-Johar area.
Four suspects were accused for the rape and murder of seven-year-old Kainat. Of these, three — Altaf Shah, Arif Shah, and Haider Shah — were arrested, whereas the search for the fourth, Shahid Mehmood, is under way.
In June, Asad Sohail — a resident of the victim's neighbourhood — convinced a seven-year-old girl in Hafizabad's Muhalla Tajpura to accompany him to his house while she was on her way to purchase grocery where he allegedly raped her.
The man fled from the area after the girl's condition became unstable following the rape. However, he was later arrested and a case against him was registered.
