The court also ordered a departmental inquiry against the DSP and Mattani police station SHO for displaying a non-serious attitude towards the matter. Sher said that his six-year-old daughter Kashmala was playing in the fields near their home when she was struck by a naked electricity wire from the nearby 11,000-kilovolt heavy transmission pylon. The court observed that since September 3, 2017, no proceeding has been completed and that nobody from those held the responsible was investigated. In an earlier hearing of the case, Mattani station SHO was directed to submit a report. On Friday, neither did he submit any report, nor did he appear before the court.
