The Pakistani police have taken custody of five of Urfan Sharif’s children in connection with the murder case of Sara Sharif. Sara, a 10-year-old girl, was found dead at her family’s residence in Woking, Surrey, in the United Kingdom (UK) on August 10. Her father, Urfan Sharif, and his partner had left the country the day before the discovery of her body.
Post-mortem examinations revealed that Sara had sustained multiple and extensive injuries, leading to the suspicion of foul play. Urfan Sharif is the prime suspect in the case, and police have been actively conducting raids to apprehend him.
The District Police Office (DPO) of Jhelum confirmed the custody of the children, identified as Noman, Azlam, Ihsan, Hina, and Bisma Sharif. However, Urfan Sharif remains at large, and the police are intensifying their efforts to locate and apprehend him.
Sara’s grandfather, Muhammad Sharif, had been sheltering the children at his residence in Jhelum but did not specify how long they had been there. He had previously denied having any contact with his son or knowledge of their whereabouts.
The case has seen allegations of police intimidation, involuntary detention of relatives, and unwarranted searches of homes from Sara’s family. They claim that the police fabricated charges against them to exert further pressure. However, the police have denied these allegations and continue to investigate Sara Sharif’s murder, with a focus on locating and apprehending the prime suspect.
