Family calls off protest after police assure justice in Sarim rape and murder case

The family of seven-year-old Sarim, whose body was recovered from an underground water tank in North Karachi, has called off their protest demonstration after police assured them of justice within two to three days.

Sarim's father expressed hope that the police would do their best to arrest his son's killers.

"We are ending our protest as the police have assured us of the results within two to three days," said Sarim's father, as the family of the seven-year-old boy called off their protest demonstration at Powerhouse Chowrangi in Karachi.

The family had staged the protest against the non-arrest of the accused in the case. Sarim's father expressed hope that the police would do their best to arrest his son's killers.

The police are awaiting further evidence to identify the culprit in the Sarim murder case. DNA samples of five suspects currently in custody have been sent to the Karachi University lab for analysis.

The investigation team has revisited the crime scene, recorded statements from multiple individuals connected to the case, and sought expert opinions from doctors involved in the initial autopsy.

A committee formed by DIG West is actively investigating Sarim's murder from multiple angles. The team is working to ensure that no detail is overlooked, and significant progress is expected once the DNA and chemical examination reports are received.

The final post-mortem report will be issued following the completion of the chemical analysis, which is anticipated to provide crucial insights into the case.

It must be noted here that Sarim's body was recovered on January 18 from an underground water tank near his house in North Karachi, 11 days after he went missing.
