The prosecutor general has been directed to present an investigation report including the forensic report at the next hearing.

On April 1, people found the body of the seven-year-old, identified as Mubashira, from a nearby field after she went missing in Jaranwala. The body was later shifted to hospital for postmortem. The postmortem report of the minor girl confirmed that she was raped.
