The incident

A Pakistani Hindu dental college student was found dead on September 17 in mysterious circumstances in her hostel room in Sindh province with a rope tied to her neck, reported PTI. Her family demanded a transparent probe in the matter. She was a final-year student of Bibi Asifa Dental College in Larkana district as well as a social activist. According to her brother, who is a medical consultant at Dow Medical College in Karachi, the marks around her neck suggested that she had not committed suicide. "It was not a suicide, suicide marks are different, I found cable marks around her neck. There are marks on her hand too. The marks are of cable but her friend had said that she found her with dupatta around her neck," he said. The Sindh government has ordered a judicial probe into the case.
