SUKKUR: The body of a final year student was recovered from her hostel room of Chandka Medical College, Larkana, on Monday.

Larkana Police said that Nimarta Kumari, student of Bibi Asifa Dental College, Larkana, resident of the Ghotki, was staying alone in her room.

The Vice Chancellor Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University, Larkana, Professor Dr Aneela Attaur Rahman, told reporters that Nimarta was preparing for an examination.

She said that SSP Larkana was investigating the mysterious incident and police had sealed the room. She said that mobile phone of the student was handed over to police. She said that there were marks on her neck and the incident could be suicide.

Moreover, the incident has sparked an online campaign "#JusticeForNimrita" where the social media users are demanding an impartial inquiry into the incident.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah took notice of the incident and ordered secretary universities and the board to furnish details of the incident and provide all kind of help to the parents of the girl.

Family says BDS student Nimrita murdered, demands investigation

The family of Nimrita Amarta Maher Chandani — a BDS final-year student at Bibi Aseefa Dental College (BADC) who was found dead in her hostel room in Larkana yesterday — has refuted earlier reports that the student committed suicide and demanded a "transparent investigation" into the circumstances of her death.

Yesterday, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University (SMBBMU) Vice Chancellor Prof Aneela Attaur Rehman had told Dawn that Nimrita was found dead in her room, which was locked. She said that the mobile phone and other belongings of the deceased student, along with other evidence, were taken into custody by police for a forensic analysis. The actual cause of her death has yet to be ascertained, she had said.

Police officials had not stated a cause of death either. A source at the Chandka Medical College (CMC) — where Nimrita's body had been taken after being found in her room — had expressed suspicion that the victim might have committed suicide.

Nimrita's brother Dr Vishal, a medical consultant in Dow Medical College in Karachi, told the media that the marks around her neck suggested that she had not committed suicide. He had further claimed that the marks on her neck looked like those made by cable wires, while the wounds on her arms suggested that someone was holding her down.

Talking to DawnNewsTV today, Nimrita's uncle said that they wanted an investigation into why her body was kept in CMC's intensive care unit before the family reached the hospital. He accused the doctors of being involved in the "murder" and questioned why a post-mortem examination had not been conducted.

A first information report (FIR) of the incident is yet to be registered. Nimrita's family said they will lodge a complaint with the police once they receive a post-mortem examination report.

Larkana DIG Police Range Irfan Ali Baloch told Dawn that Nimrita's laptop and mobile phone are in the police's custody. He said that the police were trying to decrypt the passwords on the devices.

Regarding the registration of a case, the DIG said that the police were awaiting results of the girl's autopsy because even a provisional report of her post mortem had not been provided to them yet.

Activist Kakoo Ram repeated the allegations of the deceased's uncle and said that Nimrita was a social activist. He demanded that the Larkana administration look into the matter.

Nimrita was laid to rest in her hometown in Ghotki today. The Hindu community in Mirpur Mathelo shut down their businesses and shops in order to mourn her death and register their protest. Social media users also demanded an investigation into her death.

Meanwhile, PPP leader Nisar Khuhro told reporters that a post-mortem examination of Nimrita's body has been carried out and that the report would determine whether she was murdered or had committed suicide.

Khuhro said that the police were investigating the case "from all angles" and added that police will take strict action if it turns out to be a murder case.

I wish, we had some thought process. Even so called degree holders and qualified people in pakistan cannot be called "Educated"

If she was murdered then those responsible should be given exemplary punishment.
 
Inna lillahi wa inna illahi rajioon



this makes me very angry...... I hope the perpetrators are found and sentenced to hanging till death. Better would be to subject them to torture and dismemberment.
 
Animals.

Heartbreaking reading this.

We humans are supposed to be civilised.
 
RIP Nimrita

Really need to find the culprits and punish them severely but not with death because that would be an easy let off
 
Shameful

Sindh govt formally asks for judicial inquiry into Nimrita Kumari case

The Sindh government has written a letter to the court authorities to initiate a judicial inquiry into the death of Nimrita Kumari, a student of the Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University's Bibi Aseefa Dental College.

Adviser to Chief Minister Sindh on Information Senator Murtaza Wahab had yesterday promised a group of protesters in Karachi that the Sindh government would ask for a judicial inquiry into the death of the girl.

Kumari was found dead on Monday, the university administration had earlier said, adding that she had allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling fan in her room in the university's hostel.

However, Nimrita Kumari's brother said Tuesday that his sister was murdered. Kumari's peers at the university, as well as other people close to her, have recorded their statements pertaining to the case,

According to the principal of Larkana's Chandka Medical College, Professor Dr K. Das Dholia, the initial post-mortem report ascertained the cause of Kumari's death to be suicide.

Experts cast doubts on Nimirta's autopsy report

KARACHI: Experts and officials of the medico-legal section of the health department in Karachi have raised doubts over the initial autopsy report of Nimirta Amarta Mirchandani, questioning the authenticity of the details of her examination.

They believed that the report carried many flaws and missed key facts.

They said that the ligature mark in picture was not due to a dupatta.

“It was some rope material,” said a senior official in medico-legal section, who wished not to be named.

“The post-mortem findings show suicide but ligature mark shows strangulation,” said the expert.

In the post-mortem report, time between death and post-mortem was 11-12 hours but the picture appeared to be about 24 hours old because decomposition signs had developed.

The experts said that no comments had been mentioned in the post-mortem report conducted in Larkana about decomposition. Instead, it has been mentioned in the report that the condition of the body was “fresh”.

The experts said it was also questionable as to how a five-feet-tall girl managed to hang herself from the ceiling fan, which was 15 feet high.

Official sources in the medico-legal section of health department said that it would be more appropriate if a proper medical board had been constituted to conduct an autopsy of the student in Larkana or her body should have been shifted to Karachi for a post-mortem examination.

The sources said it had been observed that proper medico-legal doctors were not available in other parts of Sindh.

They revealed that a committee had been working to bring reforms in the medico-legal section across Sindh and develop a pro forma for the whole province to conduct a post-mortem examination.

The post-mortem report of the student obtained by Dawn showed that her cause of death has been “reserved till the reports from histopathology, chemical and radiological may [be] reached”.

HYDERABAD: The Larkana district and sessions judge appeared reluctant to hold the judicial inquiry into the mysterious death of Nimirta Mirchandani — a BDS final year student of the Bibi Aseefa Dental College, Larkana, who was found dead in her hostel room on Sept 16 — in line with the home department’s Sept 18 request.

Official sources in the district police told Dawn on Sunday evening that home secretary Abdul Kabeer Kazi — who is travelling abroad — has been informed by the police about sessions judge’s reluctance to initiate the inquiry. Another source said: “We have learnt that the sessions judge has outright declined to hold the inquiry”.

According to the source, the home secretary is said to have told the Larkana police that the session judge was supposed to put it in writing if he was not willing to initiate the inquiry. “Things might get clear on Monday [today],” the source added.

It is learnt that one objection on the part of the judge is that the home department has directly made the request to him [the sessions judge] whereas it’s the Sindh High Court registrar to have issued such a directive to him.

But even for that matter, no reply has officially been communicated either to the Larkana police or home department and it was the message that has been conveyed to the police.

The Larkana police, meanwhile, remained in a fix. “Neither the [bereaved] family is coming forward to lodge an FIR of the incident nor are the police ready to register a suicide case,” said the source.

Nimirta’s family members have spoken to the Larkana DIG Irfan Ali Baloch and SSP Masood Bungash. One source said that the family had at least shown their trust in the DIG but even then they were not ready to lodge an FIR.

Police have been keeping two students – Mehran Abro and Wasay alias Ali Shan Memon — in custody for several days for questioning.

“Their custody will obviously raise questions and their family may also move a court for their release,” said a police source.

Statements of the two students have been recorded by the police, who are also learnt to have recorded their videos.

Mehran Abro is said to be closely connected with Nimirta and according to the police version, Abro had told interrogators that he had declined to marry her. A few days before the Sept 16 incident, she had talked to Prof Amar Lal about her issues.

According to Advocate Ishrat Lohar, a judicial probe could not be held unless an FIR is registered.

Advocate Ali Palh, however, differs with Advocate Lohar, insisting that a judicial inquiry could be initiated before registration of an FIR. “The bereaved family wants a high court judge to head such an inquiry,” Advocate Palh said.

Nimirta’s brother, Dr Vishaal, did not talk to Dawn despite repeated attempts made by this reporter till late Sunday evening.

Someone who attended his mobile phone said he [Dr Vishaal] was busy performing religious ritual.

Sad that a young promising life was curtailed before time.

However I don't get the media attention on what, in effect, is just a murder.
 
A final post-mortem examination report of Nimrita Amarta Maher Chandani — a BDS final-year student at Bibi Aseefa Dental College (BADC) who was found dead in her hostel room in Larkana in September — says that she was sexually assaulted before her death and died due to asphyxiation.

Police Surgeon Dr Qarar Ahmed Abbasi told Dawn that according to the final post-mortem report, the Larkana student was "murdered by strangulation after rape".

"The post-mortem opinion is clear but depends on [a] proper police investigation," he said.

Police Surgeon Dr Abbasi, quoting an observation in the report, said that it has to be ascertained through circumstantial evidence whether Nimrita was strangulated or hanged.

He said that the post-mortem report noted that the wound marks on the victim's neck were "narrower in width", which he said, clearly showed that that the wound wasn't caused by a dupatta; instead, it was caused by a "rope-like thing or material".

"Final post-mortem report didn’t establish [the] initial theory of suicide," Dr Abbasi said.

According to a copy of the report, dated November 6, obtained by DawnNewsTV, Women Medical Officer of the Chandka Medical College (CMC) Hospital Larkana Dr Amrita, said that the marks of the victim's neck show that her death was caused by "producing asphyxial signs", which are produced either by strangulation or hanging.

The report stated: "The constriction of the neck from outside by ligating material (narrower in width as self-explaining from ligature mark present on the neck to be compared to the recovered ligature with configuration of ligature mark-advised) has caused the death of deceased by producing asphyxial signs."

"These signs are produced either from strangulation or hanging, to be ascertained on circumstantial evidence as (corroborative) i.e. that is at the scene of crime/others by state investigating authorities," it read.

Dr Armita added: "That provisional DNA report of forensic and molecular biology laboratory LUMHS Jamshoro detected male DNA profile obtained from semen stains/sperm fractions from HVS and clothes indicates sexual act with deceased."

Dr Abbasi added that the male DNA had confirmed that she was raped. He said that a high-level forensic experts board from all over Sindh may be constituted to rectify some of the flaws in the post-mortem and crime scene investigation.

Nimrita's death
On Sept 16, Nimrita was found dead in her hostel room in mysterious circumstances. Police presumed that she had committed suicide. However, her family members, as well as Hindu community leaders, insisted that she was killed and demanded a joint investigation team (JIT) be formed to probe her death.

Nimrita's brother Dr Vishal, a medical consultant at Dow Medical College in Karachi, had told the media that the marks around her neck suggested that she had not committed suicide. He had further claimed that the marks on her neck looked like those made by cable wires, while the wounds on her arms suggested that someone was holding her down.

On Sept 17, Larkana police detained two students from the dental college attended by Nimrita. According to police sources, the two students are batchmates of the girl.

A day later, the Sindh government requested the sessions court of Larkana to hold a judicial probe into the death. Section Officer Aijaz Ali Bhatti wrote a letter to the district and sessions judge, requesting that a judicial inquiry be held in the matter. The letter also directed Larkana's deputy commissioner and SSP to "extend all possible cooperation in the [conducting] of judicial inquiry".

On Sept 22, the judge appeared reluctant to hold the judicial inquiry into the mysterious death. It was learnt that one objection on the part of the judge was that the home department had directly made the request to him [the sessions judge] whereas the SHC registrar should have issued such a directive to him.

Following this, after the Sindh High Court (SHC) granted permission, the Larkana judge was set to initiate a judicial probe into Nimrita's death.

RIP! A beautiful young lady raped and killed by someone in order for that animal to quench his lust. As the poster above me rightly posted, it’s a shame how unsafe the subcontinent truly is for women.

My hatred for sexual offenders surpasses even murderers.
 
A horrif crime against an innocent women. I hope the DNA tests are used to find the culprit and they hang the individual.

Has anyone been arrested?

How can someone enter a ladies hostel. Rape a girl and kill her, and no one knows.

In Pakistan if people have connections they can get away with it - lets see if IK takes note.

I think media attention is needed to be honest, otherwise too easy to brush this sort of thing under the carpet. Pakistan calls itself Islamic republic, but it operates more like animal kingdom where strongest survive.

That happens in India too.

But surely this is too blatant to get away.

There would be 10s if not 100s of students in the hostel. And a ladies hostel will have some sort of security too.

Getting in, raping, murdering and getting out. If nobody knew heard or saw it, the person must be invisible and entire hostel deaf.
 
as per news article , they have arrested two students from her batch. now DNA will prove who was the culprit. the sindh govt should form the JIT instead going for routine procedures.
 
Bar the few thousand that are part of the elite that get the judges dancing to their tune, everybody else gets treated like rubbish. I hope someone from here can challenge the PTI on twitter because the oxygen of publicity puts the heat on the Police.

Apparently they have arrested two students, if the DNA matches then I think/hope that they won’t get away.

Good.

But still its odd that one can get into a hostel and do all this and no one sees and hears a thing.
 
KARACHI: As the case pertaining to the mysterious death of Nimrita Chandani, a final-year BDS student of Larkana, remained unsolved despite the passage of two months, civil society and rights activists said that she was subjected to criminal assault and demanded that her killers be arrested forthwith.

Nimrita was studying in the Bibi Aseefa Dental College, Larkana, and was found dead in her hostel room in September.

At a protest demonstration outside the Karachi Press Club, dozens of activists holding placards and chanting slogans demanded removal of the college head.

The protest was jointly organised by the Home-based Women Workers Federation (HBWWF) and Young Workers Committee.

The protesters questioned the role of the Sindh government for failing to handle the harassment of working women and female students at workplaces and educational institutions.

“In Sindh and other provinces, the ugly incidents of harassment of female students in educational institutions and women workers at workplaces are increasing with every passing day,” HBWWF general secretary Zehra Khan told protesters. “It is a great tragedy that the higher administration of the Sindh government-run medical university in Larkana had dubbed the rape and murder of medical student Nimrita as a suicide. The administration instead of stopping such incidents often tries to hush up these matters or give them some other colour so that actual culprits go scot-free.”

National Trade Union Federation general secretary Nasir Mansoor said that sexual harassment cases in educational institutions were rising and it was becoming difficult for female students to get education.

He said this trend would further promote reactionary ideology and religious extremism in our society. He said if sexual harassment continued in educational institutions, more and more parents would find it very difficult to send their daughters to colleges and universities.

The demonstration was also addressed by Young Workers Committee leader Shah Faisal, who said that in Pakistan, mainly in Sindh, the security forces were deployed in universities in the name of security, but still cases of sexual harassment of female students were reported there, which remained a serious concern.

The protesters demanded that urgent notice be taken of harassment and torture of female students and actual culprits be punished after free and fair investigation.

They also called for steps to prevent sexual harassment cases in future.
