According to police report, Mohammad Akram and his wife who live in Basti Arif in district Jatoi had no children and had adopted a six-year-old baby girl from one of their relatives. When the parents of the child came to meet her, they found that the child was not feeling well and she told them that the couple used to give her bath from liquid of bones and assorted fragrances apart from applying fragrant oil on daily basis. All this was done on the advice of ‘Pir’ Khalid.
