Speaking to reporters in Kasur on Saturday, Zainab’s mother said the court had handed down a just and right punishment to the rapist and murderer of her child, Express News reported. Zainab’s uncle thanked the media for supporting the family and highlighting the issue. Expressing satisfaction over the court verdict, he said the convict must be hanged in front of public ‘so the whole world could watch’. Imran Ali was sentenced on four grounds—murdering a child, kidnapping a child, rape of a minor, and committing an unnatural act with a minor. The public demand for immediate arrest of the culprit resulted in an unprecedented search in which almost all law enforcement and secret agencies took part.
