    District Police Officer (DPO) Kasur Zulfiqar Ahmad has on Thursday claimed to have attained a major clue in Zainab murder case.

    The gruesome murderer and rapist remains at large despite intensive probe into the matter.

    Ahmad while briefing National Assembly Standing Committee on Human Rights stated that culprit involved in appalling crime will be arrested soon.

    DPO Kasur rubbished the perception that police have not worked efficaciously to solve the case.

    “It may take a week or several years to apprehend criminals involved in such heinous crimes. Police have attained major clues. We will catch the culprit soon", Zulfiqar told members of the committee.
    He stated that decision has been made to install 450 CCTV cameras in Kasur to void Zainab’s ordeal-like incidents.

    “Work on installation of cameras will begin within one month”, he added.

    Punjab additional chief secretary told committee that nine forensic analysts are collecting DNA samples in Kasur. Same culprit is involved in murder of seven innocent girls including Zainab.

    Ill-fated seven-year-old Zainab was on her way to Quran recital when she was found raped and murdered which incited protests and outrage in Kasur.
