Nazia, daughter of Mohammad Niaz, was at home allegedly with some boy, while her parents were away when her brother came. On seeing Nazia’s brother, the boy ran out of the house, but he was overpowered by some boys in the street and beaten.

Police said Nazia was brought to RGH by her brother where she was pronounced dead. Initial investigation suggested that the girl was strangulated.
