These statements are confusing us,” Abdul Aziz Butta, father of Mudasir said.“Over 15 days have passed since Mudasir allegedly committed suicide but unfortunately, her body is yet to be retrieved,” he said.

Irfan Aziz Butta, brother of deceased woman, said that they went to Mudasir’s in laws at Illahi Bagh to seek answers from them as to what forced her to take this extreme step.“However, their answer not only shocked them but made them confused about her suicide.

Go and talk to the police’,” he said.The family appealed to the police to investigate the matter fairly and thoroughly so that the truth comes out.Station House Officer (SHO) Maharaj Gunj, Manzoor Ahmad said that the police is investigating the matter and “efforts are on to retrieve her body.” (KNS)
