Faisalabad (January 11, 2018 ): A 15-year-old boy was allegedly abused and murdered in Faisalabad, as countrywide public outrage over a similar case in another Punjab district.
15-year-old Faizan Bashir, who was a student of 9th class, was missing since Tuesday night. According to police, his body was found from open fields outside a village, Chak-243RB, in Dijkot area of Faisalabad district.
Following postmortem, police handed over the body to the family members, while a case has also been lodged.
Police said they had yet to ascertain the cause of death. But the doctor who carried out the postmortem examination suspected that the minor boy was sexually abused before being strangled.
“It is my opinion that the victim was first subjected to sodomy and then strangled to death. Marks on the hands and feet of the victim appear to show signs of resistance,” said Dr Khalid Iqbal, in-charge of Rural Health Centre Dijkot.
The case follows violent protests and nationwide outpouring of grief and sorrow after the reported rape and murder of seven-year-old Zainab in Kasur district.
