KARACHI: A female jail warden beaten to death, a day earlier, by three Chechen inmates at the Gaddani jail was laid to rest at a local graveyard on Wednesday.
According to police, 23-year-old Zoya was asleep when she was set upon.
The police have registered a case against three Chechen female prisoners and launched an investigation into the murder of the warden who was deployed at Gaddani jail recently.
A letter seeking a departmental inquiry into the incident has also been dispatched to the Home Ministry to look into the alleged negligence of the jail officials.
