Farooq stated that the suspects dismembered Zahra’s body, burned her head to hinder identification, and then placed the remains in bags, which they dumped into a canal to hide their crime. He noted, “The suspected women had acquired the skills to execute this gruesome act from watching Indian movies.”
Sughra Bibi, the prime accused, has been arrested along with her daughter Yasmeen, grandson Abdullah, and another relative, Naveed. The case emerged following an initial complaint by the suspects claiming Zahra had eloped, which further investigation proved false, revealing the grim reality of her murder. The case was registered based on a complaint by Zahra’s father.
