TOBA TEK SINGH: The incident of a four-year-old girl falling into a manhole and drowning seven days ago in the Tayyaba Town of Tandlianwala has taken a new turn after the Tandlianwala City Police booked six persons for killing her on May 17.
Complainant Laraib Qasim claimed in her FIR that her deceased daughter Hania (4) went out on the evening of May 10 to play in the street where Mudassar Malik, his son Usama Malik and Shahzad Butt caught her and threw her into a manhole. As a result, she drowned.
She claimed that it was an act of revenge as her husband Qasim Ali had repeatedly rejected their offer to sell their house to the accused persons on a throw away price.
Police were investigating.
