Brother of Pak-Hindu girl found dead in hostel alleges murder

Islamabad, Sep 18 (IANS) After a Pakistani-Hindu girl was found dead in her hostel room, her brother on Wednesday said she was murdered.

Nimrita Kumari was found dead in her hostel room at the Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University (SMBBMU) in Larkana on Monday. According to media reports, the post-mortem report says that she committed suicide.

Her brother Vishal, who is a medical consultant, said that the preliminary report shows Nimrita was murdered.

"I have seen the body of my sister and all the evidences point that she was murdered," he told the media.

He went on to say that according to hospital officials, Nimrita used a dupatta to hang herself from the ceiling but her neck doesn't have any such marks.

Raising questions on the doctors' honesty, he said the mark on her wrist also points to the fact that it was not a suicide. And, the fan from which she allegedly hanged herself is in good condition.

He demanded that the matter be examined in depth and a judicial committee be constituted.
