Update | Recent findings on Noor Mukaddam murder case:
In a recent update, it was found that Noor was tortured and raped before beheading. She was raped first and then shortly killed around 7 pm on 20 July.
Moreover, CCTV footage has cleared that Noor fought hard. She even tried to escape from the balcony. Unfortunately, Zahir caught her. The chowkidar who was seeing everything closed the door. Now, recent findings have told us that Zahir raped Noor before beheading her.
Zahir Jaffer’s parents’ bail was rejected by the court on the grounds that both were involved in this. Both tried their best to hide Noor’s murder. When Zahir was torturing Noor, a neighbor heard her screams. A phone call was then quickly made to the police. When the police arrived, Zahir had already murdered and beheaded Noor.
Zahir then tried to trick the police. An investigating officer said when we arrested Zahr he was in stable condition. When we shifted him to jail, he starts acting as if he were abnormal. Then he tried to pretend that he did not speak English. Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Noor’s parents will get justice.
After all this, a video is circulating in which Anchor Imran khan has allegedly blamed Noor Mukaddam and questioned her character. It has divided people into two groups.
