    The minor’s father said he works in Saudi Arabia as a labourer and returned to Pakistan on Friday, after receiving the news of her death.

    Four-year-old Aasma went missing on January 13 from the Gujjar Garhi area and was found dead the next day at 3pm.

    The case, one of the many reported after the brutal rape and murder of minor Zainab in Kasur, has invited widespread condemnation as well calls to address issue of child sexual abuse properly.
