Main suspect in Farishta case arrested
[DAWN] The capital police on Saturday announced that they have arrested the main suspect in the abduction and murder case of a 10-year-old girl.Addressing a presser on Saturday, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Waqaruddin Syed said the police picked the suspect for allegedly abducting Farishta on May 15 and killing her. "It was a blind case which had no clue to trace and identify the culprit," he said, adding that the arrest was made after the victim’s mother’s suspicion. The mother told the police that she had spotted the suspect roaming around her daughter before she disappeared. The police made sketches of the suspect and started a hunt which led to his arrest, the DIG said. The suspect is a resident of Alipur. When residents of the area were asked about the suspect, a large number of them complained that he was involved in immoral activities, he said. The alleged killer has criminal record and two cases were already registered against him in 2006 and 2017, the DIG said. In 2006, he had tried to molest two girls while in 2017 he had made a similar attempt on a six-year-old girl. In both cases, challans against the accused were submitted to the court but he got the issues settled with the complainants, the DIG added. Posted by: Fred 2019-06-24 |
