Central SSP Arif Aslam Rao says they will find out who fired the bullet that killed Nimra. He told the media an impartial investigation will be conducted and the findings will be shared with the public. We are waiting for the final post-mortem report and the forensic evidence from the crime scene, which we will examine along with the rounds collected from the scene, he said.Nimra was initially brought to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital but could not be treated there because they didnt have the proper facilities.
Dr Anwar, a doctor at the hospital, explained to Samaa tv.The exit wound was very large, he said, adding that the surgical team told the head of their department. We didnt have the facilities to manage the case but JPMC does, he said. JPMC has a large neurosurgery team and a fully equipped ICU, Dr Anwar explained.The police had been following the dacoits since Sakhi Hassan, in the jurisdiction of the Sharae Noor Jehan police station. The encounter occurred in the jurisdiction of the Sir Syed police station.
