Doctor told that she was conscious while brought to the emergency bleeding excessively. ‘She was put on ventilator after transfusion of 5 bottles of blood but due to sever hypovolemic shock she died’ doctor maintained.

Bishop of United Pentecostal Church of Pakistan, Rt.Rev. Khalid Pervaiz while talking to Daily Patriot said that violence against women and girls is unacceptable. He called on relevant executive and judicial authorities to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice.
“According to the HRCP and other national and international organizations the cases of rape registered in Punjab up till now are the highest among all provinces. Punjab is leading in rape cases and there is zero conviction, it is an ample proof of Punjab government’s bad governance.” Bishop Khalid added.
