FAISALABAD: A girl brutally tortured by a fake spiritual healer three days ago at D-Type Colony breathed her last at the General Hospital, Samanabad, on Tuesday.
Zeenat Bibi, a resident of Lahore’s Mughalpura area, was ill and her family sent her to her uncle’s home at Muradabad, D-Type Colony.
Riaz, brother of Zeenat, told reporters that self-acclaimed spiritual healer Afzal clubbed his sister “to rid her of the possession.”
He said Zeenat was shifted to the General Hospital with critical wounds where she died.
The D-Type Colony SHO said Shahbaz Ahmad, a disciple of the suspect, had been taken into custody and raids were being conducted to arrest him.
COMMITTEE: City Police Officer (CPO) Dr Haider Ashraf has constituted a three-member committee to arrest suspects who gunned down two women in Jaranwala on Monday evening.
Parveen Bibi and her two daughters were on their way home on a rickshaw when three armed suspects signalled the driver to stop near railway crossing. The driver did not pay heed and kept driving at which the suspects opened fire and fled.
Parveen Bibi and one of her daughters died on the spot while the rickshaw driver and the other child remained unhurt.
Police registered a case under sections 302 and 392 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
The CPO directed Jaranwala DSP Muhammad Akhtar, head of the committee, to trace the culprits within a week.
