Minor maid's death case: Doctors conduct Fatima’s autopsy

A medical team on Saturday completed the post-mortem of the minor Fatima, a domestic worker who was killed in Ranipur, after taking her necessary body parts for medical examination, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel. 

Earlier, the remains of Fatima were exhumed from her grave in the presence of a Judicial Magistrate and medical board. This was done in compliance with a court verdict for conducting an autopsy of Fatima.

According to sources, the medical board found marks of brutal signs of torture on the girl's body during the dissection. These were found on the neck, abdomen, and arms of the murdered girl, the sources added.

 The body parts taken from the girl's body would be sent to the laboratory for testing. The lab’s report will be received between a week and a month, sources hinted.

It is pertinent that in Khairpur, ten-year-old Fatima lost her life due to apparent violence, and videos displaying signs of abuse on the innocent girl’s body had also surfaced. Fatima used to work at the house of a prominent figure.

In the video, the child can be seen suffering in distress at the employer’s house, and later, Fatima’s body was buried without a post-mortem examination.
