Residents of Kasur still baffled over Zainab case

It has been more than a week that seven-year-old Zainab’s body was found in a trash dump in Kasur. Investigations revealed that the little girl had been raped before being killed and the DNA found on the little girl was also discovered on the bodies of several other rape victims.

Despite catching the image of the rapist and murderer on CCTV, the police have still not been able to find him. The residents of Kasur and especially Zainab’s parents are still searching for answers and demanding the arrest of the atrocious criminal.

Kasur has become infamous for child abuse cases and despite having numerous leads, the police still fail to capture the repeating offenders. The killing of Zainab Fatima Ameen has sparked nationwide protests and people are now demanding the strict punishments should be handed out to the perpetrators of such crimes.

Candlelight vigils were held across the country for little Zainab with people holding placards with the hashtag #JusticeforZainab. The same hashtag is also trending on social media with plights from people from all genres of life, demanding justice for Zainab.

According to official reports, Zainab is the 12th child who was found raped and murdered in the city in within a two-kilometer radius in the last two years. The discovery of Zainab’s body sparked city-wide protests with enraged people setting fire to politicians’ homes, accusing authorities of inaction. As a result of the riots, two people were killed due to police firing on the crowds.

A spokesperson for the government of Punjab province said the suspect was likely “a lunatic with psychological disorders”.

“The perpetrator involved in the murder is a serial killer,” said Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan.

Despite not finding the real killer till now, the police officials are still hopeful that they will be able to find the culprit soon.
