| We understand that this is an actual photo of Haseena's hand after her body was found in the Neelam river at Nagdar |
Paalri in Diwaarian, which is in the Neelam Valley is where this gory incident happened.
The 4 alleged killers:
1) Sudhir - deywar i.e. younger brother of husband
2) Taaj un Nissa aka 'Taaju' - jethaani i.e. wife of husband's older brother
3) Sumera - nand i.e. husband's sister
4) Irfan - deywar i.e. younger brother of husband
The 4 alleged accomplices:
1) Vakeel Chisti son of Zulfiqar - peon or clerk in judiciary
2) Qazi Khursheed - local (power/public issue) broker
3) Guard Muhammad Hussain - retired employee of the department of forestry
4) Fazal Hussain Diwani - a political lackey of PMLN (Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz) and local (power/public issue) broker
All the above (8) are alleged to have been involved in the murder of:
1) Haseena Bibi - 27 years old
2) Anas - her son of 18 months (age) who is still missing.
On the 3rd of June at 3pm, it is alleged that Haseena Bibi's in-laws killed her and threw her into the Neelam river. At 7pm (in the evening) her in laws phoned Haseena's mother and informed her that her daughter is missing. As soon as she received this shocking news her mother - along with other villagers - went out in search of her but - oblivious of her daughter's fate - could not find a clue as to her daughter's whereabouts.
After 2 days the missing woman's mother and maternal uncle visited the relevant police station at Lawaat Pine to lodge an FIR (First Information Report) but the police displayed neglect and did not lodge an FIR, leaving them at the mercy of a local jirga (supposedly a meeting of a group of tribal men that has the authority to settle a dispute in a way acceptable to both sides), which in this particular case has been referred to as a 'jirga mafia'.
After the lapse of 7 days the missing woman's mobile and her identity card were recovered from her in laws. When the police of Lawaat station were contacted with this important information they exercised neglect once again. Thus, no action was taken and neither was an FIR lodged. As previously, the matter was handed over to a local 'jirga mafia' once again. In that jirga was Vakeel Chisti s/o Zulfiqar on whose instructions the women's mother was offered money - that you take this money and forget about the issue - that if you follow this instruction it would be most convenient for you. Otherwise, I (Vakeel Chisti) will not let your application (for justice) be considered in any part of the district (of Neelam).
Vakeel Chisti of Dhakan Kot in Diwaarian is a clerk with the district Qazi (separate judge exercising Islamic law as part of the dual judicial structure in AJK) was also citing the reputation of his job (to exude his power/status) but the missing woman's parents were not calmed by this strategy (to bury the issue). Haseena's parents went to the SP (superintendent of police) Neelam's office once again and briefed him on the whole issue, which the SP in turn marked their application and sent it to Lawaat police station for appropriate investifation. Despite this order from their superior, the police station at Lawaat still refrained from taking action or even writing an FIR.
After the lapse of 18 days it was intimated at the police station in Lawaat that the missing woman was alive and in Rawalpindi (Pakistan). On that very day people from her parents side as well as her in-laws with 2 policemen in tow went to Rawalpindi in search of Haseena Bibi. When they reached Rawalpindi they learned that the woman's dead body had been found in the river Neelam downstream at Nagdar and had been transferred to DHQ (district headquarter hospital) in Neelam Valley. At this juncture, it transpired that the Lawaat police had lied and therefore it was now their responsibility that they publicly disclose those who said that the missing Haseena Bibi was alive and in Rawalpindi.
It was on Wednesday 22/06/2022 at 11am that the woman's dead body had been found by rescue personnel at Nagdar by the river Neelam and transferred to DHQ, 19 days after she was 'assumed' to be missing. When Haseena Bibi's in-laws learned of this development they reached the hospital before the parents of the allegedly murdered woman and declared to the hospital staff that this dead body was not that of Haseena Bibi. The dead woman's mother reached the hospital at 4pm and when she noticed a ring on the corpse's finger, she recognised it to be that of her supposedly missing daughter. However, the hospital staff refused to hand over the body to her and said that her 2 sisters should also be called to the hospital, so that they may confirm with assurity that indeed this was the body of Haseena Bibi. In the meantime, all the rest of the household had reached the hospital, whereupon it was established and confirmed that this was indeed the dead body of the missing woman.
Furthermore, around the neck of the dead woman were 3 keys. When the police reached the house of Haseena Bibi's in-laws, they checked the keys with the metal boxes (trunks) in her room which confirmed that the 3 keys corresponded to the 3 locks on the 3 boxes. This further clarified that the dead body was indeed that of Haseena Bibi. At 9pm the DHQ administration - once a post mortem had been conducted - handed over Haseena's corpse to her parents. In the post mortem report it can be clarified that murder - and not suicide - was suspected. The woman's dead body was taken to her ancestral village Paalri in Diwaarian and buried.
Missing with the woman was her infant child of 18 months Anas, who has not been found to date. The poor victimised family of Haseena Bibi are repeatedly making vociferous appeals to 'higher authorities' that they be delivered justice and the killers of their 27 year old daughter be delivered appropriate punishment for their crimes. It is their responsibility and the bereaved family have complete faith in these 'higher authorities' that they will definitely fulfill their duty.
The motive of why she was killed is still unclear.
