A nine-year-old girl by the name of Javaria fell into the hands of her step-father who made her a victim of his lust and later killed her. Despite committing such a heinous crime, the suspect, identified as Abbas, roams free as he is out on bail.
According to the details of the incident provided, Javeria was just nine when her mother, Hasina, got married to Abbas and the two started living with him. In December 2016, Javeria went missing and her mother registered an FIR at the local police station. Just two days after that, the little girl’s body was found dumped beside a road in Peshawar.
All suspicions pointed towards Abbas who got detained by the police. While in court, Abbas confessed to killing Javeria in the name of honor, claiming that he had caught her talking to some boy on her mobile phone. However, Hasina refused to believe his version of what happened and kept insisting that there was some other angle to the story.
An autopsy was conducted on Javeria’s body which revealed that she had been raped by her stepfather. Later investigations revealed that Abbas had raped his daughter and when she cried for help, he killed her and dumped the body on Warsak Road.
When time came to convict him, Hasina changed her story for some unknown reason, due to which Abbas got the opportunity to be released on bail.
Talking to The Express Tribune, an official of the Child Protection Unit, Ijaz Khan, said that under the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Child Welfare and Protection Act 2010, sexual abuse of a child was a non-bail able offence, but unfortunately in the case of Javeria sections 36, 44 and 56 had not been included in the FIR, which enabled the accused to take advantage of the omission and get bail.
