January 12, 2018

ISLAMABAD: A spokesman for the Supreme Court has refuted claim by a senior lawyer that the suspect in Kasur rape-cum-murder case has been apprehended. In a statement issued to the media, the spokesman said that lawyer Ahmad Raza Kasuri's statement was out of context. The chief justice only spoke of reports on social media suggesting arrest of the culprit, the spokesman explained. Senior advocate Ahmad Raza Kasuri earlier claimed that the suspect responsible for the rape and murder of Zainab in Kasur case has been arrested. The Punjab government had also denied the claims.
