Dua Zehra case: Teen’s father moves SHC seeking action against Zaheer if ‘rape’ proved in medical tests

KARACHI – Mehdi Kazmi, the father of the teenage girl who eloped to Punjab from her home in Karachi, seeks action against Zaheer Ahmed if 'rape' proved in medical tests.

The distressed father of the teenage girl once again filed a plea in the Sindh High Court seeking action against Zaheer a day after a new medical board, revealed that Dua’s age is closer to 15.

Kazmi reportedly based his case on recent medical tests conducted to determine Dua’s age.

The complainant maintained that Dua was abducted by Zaheer Ahmed at the age of 13 years, 11 months, saying he has all the documents to prove the claims. He further stated that Zaheer mentioned Dua’s incorrect age to marry her.

Earlier, the Sindh High Court allowed Dua to exercise her free will and leave with whomever she wants.

Later, the court’s decision was challenged by Dua Zehra’s father in the Supreme Court which sent the case back to a trial court. The trial court then ordered to form of a medical board after the parents challenged the previous medical board.
