Killer of dancer held after two months
SAHIWAL, July 14: Grain Market police on Thursday solved the mystery behind the murder of a dancing girl that had occurred some two months back. The police claimed to have arrested the murderer, who happened to be a slain’s lover. While the accomplice woman of the killer is still at large. Police sources said dancing girl Zainab Neelo had shifted her residence to a nearby Chak 135/9-L. She had contracted marriage with one Alam Sher. She had three children from Alam Sher.
Meanwhile, accused Akram Bhatti, a broker of Rajanpur’s Grain Market, had allegedly developed relations with Neelo. The accused asked her to get divorce from her husband after which he would marry her.
She informed Akram that she was pregnant from him and, in case, she gave birth to a girl she would rear her to induct into the profession of dancing as well. This provoked Akram, who with the help of a woman, had taken Neelo to railway quarters where she was strangled. Later, he threw the body near the Wapda grid station on May 14.
Police claimed that the arrested accused had come clean of his crime. He was sent to jail on a 14-day judicial remand.
