The case now includes charges of kidnapping, murder, and other relevant sections, DPO Rashid added. According to initial findings, the incident was connected to a personal dispute: Dr Warda had given gold to her friend Rida two years ago, which was never returned. On the day of the crime, Rida allegedly took Dr Warda to her under-construction house and handed her over to the suspects — Shamariz, Nadeem, and Aurangzeb.
Following the discovery of Dr Warda’s body, doctors have demanded the formation of a joint investigation team (JIT) to ensure a thorough probe into the case. The victim’s father has also accused the police of corruption, claiming that bribes were involved, and has demanded the arrest of the Station House Officer (SHO) and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP).
Police officials have assured the public that the investigation is ongoing and that legal action will be taken against all individuals involved in the crime. The case has drawn attention amid rising concerns over the safety of medical professionals in the country.
