PESHAWAR: The authorities on Sunday ordered probe into the death of a 12-year old housemaid at the residence of the brother of a politician in Abbottabad.
Misbah, daughter of Kamran who used to work at the house owned by the brother of a provincial minister, died on January 25. The parents of Misbah were informed by other family members as well as her elder sister who used to work in the same house.
Some reports on the social media, however, raised suspicion that the death was not natural and demanded an inquiry into the incident.
On Sunday, Inspector General of Police, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Salahuddin Mahsud directed the Hazara regional police officer and Abbottabad district police officer to probe the incident.
An official, who wished not to be named, said that the four-year old brother of the deceased girl had died due to breathing problem a few weeks back while two of her siblings were also suffering from the same disease.
The official said the family was yet to formally approach the police with a complaint. However, he said the police had launched a probe into the incident.
He added that the medico-legal report of the girl would help police in the investigation process.
