Parents in Dalbandin want 7-year old daughter's murder to be tried by special court

Allah Dad, a father from Dalbandin, and his wife have petitioned the Balochistan chief minister and high-ranking officials to move the case of their seven-year-old daughter's rape and murder to the Special Court for Violence Against Women and Children in Quetta. At a press conference, Allah Dad explained that his family traveled to Noshki last month to attend the funeral of a relative who passed away there.

He claimed that a relative named Asmatullah handed over their daughter, Sabiha, to the suspects in exchange for Rs3,000. Dad stated that his daughter was raped and killed shortly after, and her body was disposed of in the bushes. Police had arrested three suspects in connection with the incident, but despite completing the post-mortem examination and having the suspects' DNA reports, no remand had been granted, and a thorough investigation had not taken place.

The judicial proceedings in Noshki were reportedly disrupted due to the current situation in the region. Despite a month having passed, Allah Dad and his wife have not been properly interrogated.
