KASUR: With the police struggling to arrest the culprit involved in the gory rape and murder of seven-year-old Zainab in Kasur, a new CCTV footage showing a man suspected to be the perpetrator emerged on Friday.
The police released the new video, which, they say, can help in connecting the dots to zero in on the culprit.
The CCTV footage shows the suspect roaming around the home of the minor victim’s maternal aunt on January 04, the day she had gone missing while going to her aunt’s house.
A day earlier, the police claimed to have arrested two alleged facilitators of the prime suspect in a raid carried out near Zainab’s house in Kasur, but they have so far failed to nab the culprit involved in the felony.
Zainab was abducted on January 04 from Kasur’s Kot Road area. Five days after her disappearance, she was found raped, dead and buried in a garbage dump on Jan 09.
Following the incident, four videos have surfaced showing the minor girl being taken away by the culprit.
Zainab’s rape and murder shattered the entire nation, triggering widespread public outrage with people from all walks of life demanding an exemplary punishment for the perpetrator.
Violent protests had erupted in the Kasur city following the incident, resulting in the death of two people in police firing outside DC office.
The incident blew the lid on the horrifying reality of how children in a brutalized society are vulnerable to sexual abuse.
