Death of Iqra Kainat and some clarifications.
During the past few days, some photos of Afshan Latif became viral on social media and people said that Afshan Latif was killed. But it was a false news. Most of social media users posted a false news of Afshan Latif’s murder without any verification.
In fact, Iqra Kainat was the actual girl who has been allegedly killed. However allegations of Iqra Kainat’s murder haven’t been proved yet. A post mortem report yet to come. Former superintendent of Kashana Lahore, Afshan Latif told more details behind the allegations of Iqra Kainat’s murder. Watch in the video, below.
“In 2015, she was shifted to Dar-ul-Aman from the Child Protection Bureau and later in 2016, she was sent to Kashana [shelter house]. I had arranged by myself her marriage with a man named Abid. Her sudden death causes suspicions as she is the only girl who knows the secrets of welfare institutions.”
Former superintendent of Kashana Lahore, Ms Afshan Latif appealed the government to open an investigation into Ms Kainat’s death.
Earlier in November last year, Afshan Latif had alleged in a video statement that underage girls dwelling in the shelter home are forced into marriages by Director General Social Welfare Afshan Kiran Imtiaz.
In the video posted on Twitter, she claimed the director general, who wanted to curry favour with a provincial minister and high-ups, was putting pressure on orphan girls, including those who aged between 16 and 17 years, to enter underage marriages.
Ms Latif said the girls are being misused in the name of food and shelter.
She claimed she was removed from her post after she approached the Chief Minister’s Inspection Team (CMIT) with a request for an inquiry into the matter. She had appealed the chief justice and the prime minister to take notice of the alleged misuse of orphan girls living in shelters.
