On the other hand, Dr Vishal Chandani, Nimrita’s brother, has rejected the initial report. He says that the investigating officers in front of him wrote that there were scars on both hands and legs but it was not mentioned in the initial report.

Vishal said, “He asked to report at 11–12 pm but sent the report to us after 5 pm. The report said that there is a V-shape scar. I have an X-ray, in which the black colour is clearly visible. Therefore, we are not satisfied with the report at all. A judicial inquiry should be conducted into the incident.

During this, on Wednesday the night was held in Karachi on the demand of the Hindu community to investigate the death of Namrata.

Sindh province minister Mukesh Chawla reached out to talk to the protesters but the protesters said that the protest would continue until Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah spoke to them and assured them of getting justice.

Later provincial advisor Murtaza Wahab along with Mukesh Chawla also reached out and assured the protesters that the hostel warden would be suspended while the vice-chancellor would be given a show-cause notice as the vice-chancellor could not be removed without a show-cause notice. He also accepted the demand for a judicial inquiry into the incident.

Earlier, Dr Anila Ataurrahman, Vice Chancellor of the Benazir Bhutto Medical University, on Tuesday went to the family of Nimrita and expressed condolences and said that she is investigating the matter. But the family were not satisfied with this and said that they would accept only judicial inquiry.
