| [DAWN] KARACHI: An antiterrorism court has rejected the bail application of a detained suspect in a case pertaining to alleged abduction, rape and murder of a six-year-old girl. Police claimed to have booked three suspects along with their two absconding accomplices for allegedly abducting the minor girl on April 12 and murdering her after subjecting her to sexual assault within the remit of the Orangi Town cop shoppe. The victim’s body was found in a deserted area on April 12. The incident sparked a violent protest by her family and residents of the area. One of the three detained suspects had moved an application seeking post-arrest bail on the basis of an affidavit said to have been signed by the slain child’s parents. The ATC-I judge pronounced his verdict, which was earlier reserved after hearing arguments from the defence and the prosecution. In his order, the judge observed that the case record showed that the accused was connected with the serious crime of kidnapping of a minor girl, who was subsequently murdered after being raped. |
