any other evidence found at the scene of the incident. He said that police
worked around the clock since the last twenty days before a headway was
made in the case.
Giving further details over the murder of Saira Naseer, the police officer
said forensic tests were conducted during investigation, and thousands of
mobile phone numbers were thoroughly searched and people were interrogated.
He said that Saira Naseer’s son Fahad has got married recently but she
disapproved of the girl of his choice. He also said the she was very
dominating and abusive towards her son.
On the night of the incident, Ms Naseer had an an altercation with her son
and hit him. Afterwards her son struck her with a steel rod on her head.
SSP Hyderabad further said that the deceased son’s was summoned after
evidence was found against him but he did not appear. Fahad, along with his
wife, was later arrested from Karachi and allegedly confessed to killing
his mother.
