The suspect then tried to shoot at Zainab, but his gun malfunctioned, leading him to attack her with sticks and a knife, leaving her injured. She is currently being treated at the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.
The suspect, who sustained wounds after Zainab put up resistance, later went to a private hospital in Gulshan-e-Maymar with a friend and claimed his injuries were a result of a robbery incident. However,
