The charred body of a woman was recovered from a burnt car in the early hours of Thursday in the Tando Jam area near Hyderabad.
According
to Senior Superintendent Police Hyderabad Pir Muhammad, it is believed
that the woman was murdered and her body was placed in the car which was
then driven to a street and set on fire.
Station House
Officer Husri Ibrahim Samoon said that the woman was later identified as
PML-Functional women wing leader Saira Naseer. Moreover, police have
taken DNA samples to confirm the identity of the deceased.
“She
was a divorcee. Her former husband Zaheer was called along with her
daughters to identify her, who identified her through her belongings”,
said SSP Hyderabad Pir Mohammad Shah.
SSP Shah said, “The
point that lends credence to the assumption that Saira Naseer was
murdered is the fact that her mobile numbers reportedly remained
continuously switched off [before the incident].”
