Muzaffargarh Police have failed to trace the killers of an international athlete Syeda Sadaf Zohra Zaidi, her sister Syeda Shirin Batool Zaidi, her mother Khurshid Fatima and her brother Syed Khurshid Raza Alias Shehzad.
However, a case was registered on the report of Professor Syed Ishrat Ali Zaidi (her maternal uncle) under sections 302, and 328 PPC against unidentified killers.
It may be recalled that three persons of a family of a retired PTCL employee Late Mansab Ali Zaidi died on Friday night after taking poisonous food while another is unconscious till the filing of this news. His condition is stated to be precarious.
Three persons Khurshid Fatima (50) wife of Mansab Ali (62), her daughter Sadaf Zohra (22) and Shirin Batool (18) died on the spot after taking poisonous food while her son Shehzad died in Nishtar Hospital, Multan. Now Shan Zaidi is the only survivor of this family because he was away from home.
Initial post-mortem report revealed that they were killed by forcibly giving them poisonous chemical that was found in their abdomen, however, it is yet to be decided whether both girls were sexually assaulted or not before killing them.
District Police Officer (DPO) Muzaffargarh Ahsan Mehboob said: "We were feeling that it is a case of collective suicide, however, now we have changed our mind and investigation team was looking this case from all aspects, enmity, suicide, sectarian killing and domestic feud. We were waiting for the senses restoration of Khurshid Raza, but he could not survive and died in coma."
However, a police officer ruled out the possibility of sectarian killing and said that we were investigating Shan Mansab Zaidi (22) who was away from home when that incident was occurred.
He said that it might be an outcome of frustration because Khurshid Fatima widow of Mansab Ali Zaidi failed to marry her children Khurshid Raza (32) Sadaf Zohra (23) Shan Mansab (22) and Shirin Batool (18) due to financial constraints.
However, some Shia leaders and activists were declaring it a terrorist and sectarian killing.
