In a major development in honor killing case of 19-year-old Sidra Arab Gul, her body was exhumed on Monday under court orders in Rawalpindi’s Pirwadhai area, followed by reburial after the procedure.
A 19-year-old newlywed bride was murdered by her husband on the orders of a jirga (tribal council) in Rawalpindi, earlier this week.
According to sources, the exhumation, supervised by Area Magistrate Qamar Abbas Tarar, allowed forensic teams to collect samples from the victim’s body for a post-mortem examination.
Hospital sources revealed shocking evidence of violence, with visible marks of torture found on Sidra’s body, particularly on her head and face.
The victim’s face appeared blue during the exhumation, indicating possible suffocation. According to hospital sources, Sidra was strangled to death, confirming earlier suspicions of a brutal murder.
