Rawalpindi City Police Officer (CPO) Khalid Hamdani noticed the incident and ordered a full investigation to be performed by SP Saddar Nabeel Khokhar.
Originally, the family tried to cover the killing by claiming it was a suicide. However, the study after Mortem confirmed that Mahak had died of gunshot wounds and established it as a case of murder.
Police collected evidence from the crime scene and a case has been registered under serious charges. CPO Hamdani stated that crimes against women and children are intolerable. If there are several suspects involved, they will also be brought to fruition.
