SARGODHA: The mystery surrounding the murder of 12-year-old Hina Fatima has been revealed as the work of her own brothers.

The police have arrested Mudassar and Tassawar who have confessed to killing her.

The case of Hina’s murder was registered by the Sahiwal police station on the complaint of her mother against unidentified assailants a few days ago.

The police interrogated Mudassar and Tassawar who confessed to strangling their younger sister and hanging the body with a pipe inside their house.

The motive behind this act was their fear that she had witnessed them in a compromising situation with a girl from the neighbourhood.

The police recovered the body and handed it over to the family after postmortem.

ACCIDENT: A dumper hit a motorcycle near the Jhelum River bridge on Sargodha-Khushab Road killing two young riders from Harnoli.

Rescue 1122 shifted the bodies to a Khushab hospital.

The dumper driver fled the scene, and the police are after the culprit.

COURT: Additional District and Sessions Judge Noman Muhammad Naeem taking note of the disregard for court orders, has ordered the arrest of DSP Nasir Abbas and to be produced before the court on Oct 10.

The court ordered the district accounts office to withheld his salary pending further orders.

The judge had summoned the DSP, who ignored the court’s orders.
