The tragic demise of Fatima occurred in the residence of Asad Shah, and a video capturing her tragic death went viral on social media, sparking widespread outrage online.

Despite the influential family’s efforts to downplay the case, influential spiritual leader Fayyaz Shah was taken into custody while he was returning from a press conference. During the press conference, the co-accused expressed sorrow over Fatima’s death and alleged that family members of the deceased were making accusations under the influence of politicians. He called upon IG Sindh and other investigative agencies to conduct a transparent inquiry into the matter.

Initially, Fayyaz Shah had been implicated in the case for providing shelter to Fatima in his home as a domestic helper, but he later handed the girl over to his daughter, Hina Shah.

Previously, Shah had obtained interim bail from the Sindh High Court in Hyderabad, while his son-in-law Pir Asad Shah was already in police custody. Fayyaz Shah’s daughter and wife are currently at large, and the police are conducting raids to locate the missing individuals from this influential family.
