FAISALABAD: A murder case has been registered against a man on charges of killing his minor daughter who was making a noise at home.

Submitting an application, Muhammad Sardar of Chak 476-GB, said his nephew Riaz Ahmed had allegedly clubbed his six-year-old daughter Noor Fatima to death on Wednesday.

We had tried to stop Ahmed from torturing Fatima but to no avail, he added.

He said Shagufta Bibi, mother of the deceased, was not living with them as she had left Ahmed.

He said Fatima breathed her last on the spot due to the torture and Ahmed managed his escape from the scene when the villagers gathered on the spot.

People said the girl was playing at her home and her father asked her to stop making a noise, however, Fatima didn’t keep quiet. They said Ahmed hit his daughter repeatedly with a wooden plank and escaped when she succumbed to her injuries.

Police have registered a case with no arrest.

As judiciery is not giving tough punishments in cases of honor as well as in such cases of horrendous belittling of women gender, there is no hope that people will improve their ways of life.

The killer of his own daughter deserves twice the punishment of any other killer.

@ramana, When there is inflight among leadership. Injustice and extremism take roots, the uncertainty cloud a mind of a person. Do you know how many people have mental health issues in the country specifically venerable and weak house wives and girls. Does anyone care. Our country has millions of issue but we have successfully transitioned from Islamophobia Blasphemyphobia. Is that the only issue that concerns the public .

Sad, but such cases happen in every country and there is no need to single out Pakistan. Mentally deranged people live in every society, and yes it is the responsibility of the state to provide support and help to such people. Wish politicians spent a fraction of what they spend on their gatherings for such causes.
