A murder of a Pakistaní-American girl of 14 years in Quetta has led to the arrest of her father and uncle, who admitted having planned the murder for her use of social networks.
According to police reports, the incident occurred around 11 pm on Monday in the area of Balochi Street, where Hira was shot out of home.
Initially, the case was treated as an unsolved murder, and his father, Inwarul Haq, presented a report at the Gawalmandi police station, naming the unknown people as suspects. However, after an investigation and gathering evidence of the scene, the police began to suspect family members.
Police arrested Hira’s father and other family members for questioning him. The case was delivered to the Wing of Investigation of Serious Crimes (SCI), which made significant progress in the investigation.
The investigation revealed that Hira’s father initially told the police that he and his daughter were on their way to visit his brother -in -law in the Khassaleh Khurd area when the unknown assailants shot his daughter.
In his statement, Haq mentioned that after leaving his house, he had briefly returned to return his brother’s mobile phone. At that time, he heard shots and ran outside to find his daughter, Hira, lay wounded near the door.
Despite the efforts to take her to the hospital, Hira succumbed to her wounds during treatment. In addition, he declared that he and his family had been living in the United States for almost 28 years before arriving in Pakistan with their children in January.
They arrived in Lahore on January 15 and arrived in Quetta on January 22. However, after investigating the scene and recording witness statements, the police suspected the family.
When investigating more, the police discovered that the father and his brother -in -law had planned the murder. Both individuals have confessed crime. The sources within the police confirmed that the reason behind the murder was related to the use of social networks by the victim.
Hira’s father expressed his discontent with his presence on social networks, particularly his Tiktok and other social networks activities. Despite the repeated warnings, Hira had not stopped, leading her father to bring her back to Pakistan and carry out the planned murder.
Rabiya Tariq, police spokesman, confirmed that the initial investigation revealed the father’s objections to his daughter’s social networks, particularly his Tiktok videos. The police continue to investigate the case even more.
In response to the murder of a young Pakistani-American citizen, the United States embassy in Pakistan has contacted the relevant authorities to address the case.
