LAHORE, Jan. 17 (TNS): Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday said the culprit involved in Zainab rape case would not be spared and will be brought to justice at any cost.
Addressing media in Kasur, Shehbaz said the inquiry was purely based on ‘scientific’ investigation including DNA testing. He added that all law enforcement agencies and NADRA were cooperating in the investigation.
He also urged residents of Kasur to come forth with any information regarding the suspect in the eight-year-old’s rape and murder case, ‘guaranteeing’ complete confidentiality.
The CM said the accused will be given a sentence so severe that anyone who thinks of committing such a heinous crime will think a hundred times.
Responding to a question on the rally being staged in Lahore by Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) supported by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Shehbaz urged opponents to not politicise the issue.
“The nation and the Almighty will not forgive us if we continue play politics on sensitive issue like this.”
