The District and Sessions Court in Islamabad has formally charged a suspect in the murder of a student at the International Islamic University (IIU).
The hearing for the case of 22-year-old student Iman Afroz was conducted by Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka. The accused, Feroz, pleaded not guilty, prompting the court to summon prosecution witnesses for the next hearing.
Iman Afroz’s legal representation was provided by lawyer Sardar Qadeer. The court has adjourned the case until December 20. The murder case is registered at Ramna Police Station.
The incident occurred in April this year when Iman was staying in the IIU hostel with her friends. According to police reports, the suspect, a resident of Jhang, entered the hostel with the intent to commit the crime. When the girls raised an alarm, he reportedly told them to stay quiet, and upon their resistance, he opened fire, hitting Iman, who died on the spot.
The suspect fled the scene but was later arrested on June 17 through the use of modern investigative technology. Authorities have stated that the case is under active investigation, and further legal proceedings will follow.
