Some locals said Aqsa had gone missing some period back and her in-laws believed that Asiya was involved in it. That’s why Aqsa’s father-in-law killed Asiya. Perveen Bibi, mother of Asiya, however told the media that Asiya was not involved in disappearance of Aqsa, as she herself had registered a case with police in this regard.
