ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Wednesday lauded the performance of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police after the latter’s Chief Salahuddin Khan Mehsud announced the arrest of two persons in connection with the molestation of a minor girl in Mardan.
A four-year-old Asma – a resident of Gujjar Garhi area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Mardan City – went missing on January 13. Later her dead body was found in a sugarcane field a day after. The subsequent investigation revealed that Asma was raped prior to be strangled to death.
In a Press Conference in Peshawar on Wednesday, the Inspector General Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police Salahuddin Khan Mehsud said a 15-year-old second cousin of Asma had been arrested by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police for his suspected involvement in the alleged rape and murder of the minor.
Salahuddin Mehsud said the suspect had confessed to his crimes, adding the suspect was traced using DNA samples obtained from a single drop of blood found on a leaf near the crime scene.
Meanwhile, the PTI Chief Imran Khan on his twitter account said “Commendable work by the professional KP police force. In the Asma case, with just one spot of blood found & no other evidence, no CCTV footage, KP police worked professionally to catch culprit showing they have developed advanced forensic detection capability as well.”
“Nor was there any political gloating by CM. Instead, as is done all over the democratic world, the police chief gave a professional press briefing. This is the difference between KP’s professional police force & the highly politicised & criminalised police force of Punjab & Sindh.”
