She told the college that Aden had left for the college. After that, she and her family launched a search and found that Aden was shifted to Rural Health Centre Qila Deedar Singh in a very poor condition by the van driver Afzal Malik, and two other men, including Abdul Waheed Rehmani.

Bibi said her daughter had told her that the suspects had given her some intoxicant to drink and she lost her senses. Later, she died at the RHC. Police said they had registered a case against

two nominated and one unidentified suspect on the murder charge on the report of the girl’s mother. They said the van driver had been arrested for interrogation.
