New evidence has come to light in the attempted murder case of Khadija Siddiqui on Thursday. Her lawyers submitted her DNA report in the court which shows that the blood found on the helmet of Shah Hussain, the attacker, belongs to the victim. Hair samples found on the helmet also belonged to the victim.
“Our arguments have been completed. We request the court to include the DNA report on grounds of ensuring a fair trial,” said Khadija’s counsel Barrister Hassan Niazi, further adding, “the opposing lawyers have shamelessly stooped low. They have indulged in character assassination of Khadija and now they are changing their statements as first they said that their client was not involved – now they are saying that no such incident happened.”
Niazi further added that if justice was not served from this court, the council would appeal in higher courts. He said that it was disheartening to see that the Chief Justice of Pakistan did not take notice of this case.
Khadija’s stabbing case took place on May 3, 2016, when she was allegedly stabbed 23 times by Shah Hussain in Lahore, in front of a number of eye witnesses. The attacker stabbed her repeatedly on Lahore’s Davis Road, where Khadija had gone to pick up her sister from school. Her younger sister was also present at the scene and witnessed the dreadful incident.
Miraculously, Khadija was saved by her driver who tried to take control of the attacker forcing him to flee from the scene.
As a result of the incident, Khadija got around 60 stitches on her neck.
Despite such glaring evidence, Khadija still awaits justice and appeals to the society to raise its voice for her. Hussain’s father is a renowned lawyer and he has several lawyers on his side.
