The parents and relatives of the minor girl refused to bury the body as they protested at Taramri Chowk for the arrest of the culprits. MNA Mohsin Dawar, who has been highlighting the case, also said that the victim’s parents had “continuously requested concerned police station for FIR but they refused”. Nabi said that there were torture marks and wounds on his daughter’s body, lamenting she had been raped before she was killed. The relatives also alleged that when the body of the girl was taken to Polyclinic Hospital, the administration refused to perform postmortem. #JusticeForFarishta was a trending topic on Twitter on Tuesday as activists and citizens brought attention to the incident on social media.
