Multan :The city of Multan was shaken on July 9th by the tragic discovery of 20-year-old Saniya Zahra’s body, allegedly murdered under suspicious circumstances at her in-laws’ residence. Her parents claim she was a victim of domestic violence and murder, contradicting initial reports of suicide. The incident has ignited a storm on social media with hashtags demanding justice for Saniya Zahra and highlighting issues of domestic abuse and inheritance rights in Pakistan.
Saniya Zahra’s father, Syed Ali Abbas Shah, filed an FIR alleging that her husband had threatened her over property rights, compelling her to comply or face dire consequences. Social media users have voiced outrage, condemning the prevalence of domestic violence against women and the lack of accountability for perpetrators.
“This case reflects a grave reality of domestic issues in Pakistan,” remarked one user, reflecting on the broader implications of the incident. Calls for stringent punishment for the accused have intensified, urging authorities to swiftly arrest and prosecute the perpetrator.
Actress Mishi Khan expressed sorrow over Saniya Zahra’s brutal killing and called for immediate action from police and authorities to apprehend the culprit and ensure justice is served swiftly.
