The tragic and mysterious death of an 8-year-old girl at an orphanage in Lower Dir’s Munda has stirred up a storm, reaching the provincial assembly. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly member Sobia Shahid has submitted a call-attention notice to address the issue.
The initial report suggests the possibility of sexual assault, raising serious concerns. According to the report, it is evident that political pressure and interference influenced the medical findings. The text indicates that efforts were made to facilitate the suspects and downplay the crime.
Shockingly, the child’s body was hidden for four days in the scorching heat, and the family was only informed when the stench became unbearable. The cause of death was absurdly attributed to a fall from a bed, a clear attempt to mask the crime.
Adding to the outrage, CCTV footage of the incident and subsequent events was deleted, casting further doubt on the orphanage’s actions and transparency. This ruthless and savage act raises grave questions about the safety and security of other children in the orphanage.
The call-attention notice stresses that the protection of these vulnerable children remains a significant concern. As the provincial assembly takes up this heart-wrenching case, the need for justice and accountability looms large, with the hope that no stone will be left unturned to uncover the truth.
