Meanwhile, the Sindh government on Wednesday requested the Larkana sessions court to conduct a judicial probe into the student’s death. Meanwhile, members of the Hindu community, civil society and political parties demanded the formation of a joint investigation team to hold probe into Nimrita’s death. Protesters held rallies in Larkana and marched towards the press club and raised slogans against the dental college administration and demanded justice.
