LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday announced a detailed verdict of actress Sapna Khan’s murder case, DawnNews reported.

The LHC ordered the police department to register a case against Dost Muhammad Khosa, son of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s (PML-N) Zulfiqar Khosa, for allegedly kidnapping and murdering his wife Sapna.

The High Court also ordered an appointment of a senior officer to investigate the case.

Justice Sheikh Najamul Hasan criticized the police officials for refusing to register the case earlier.

After the court’s proceedings, the victim’s attorney wrote a letter to Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Lahore to register the case.

Actress Sapna Khan was the former wife of Dost Muhammad Khosa and daughter of Missal Khan.

Earlier in December, Khan accused Khosa of kidnapping and murdering Sapna while Khosa levelled the same allegation at his former wife’s family.
