KARACHI, Pakistan—The minorities residing in Pakistan have been left shocked after a Hindu girl named Namrita Chandani found dead in her hostel room on September 16. She was found lying on a charpai with a rope tied to her neck while her room was locked from inside.
The victim Hindu girl Namrita Chandani was in the final year of her medical degree at Bibi Asifa Dental College in Larkana city.
For the time being, the police have refused to accept the incident as a murder, but the family members of Namrita have alleged that she has been targeted because she belonged to minority.

Interacting with media, the victim’s brother Dr. Wishal said that her sister didn’t commit suicide instead she has been murdered. He said that while his sister was wearing a dupatta, the marks around her neck resembled that of a cable wire.
“There are marks on other parts of her body too like a person was holding her. We are a minority, please stand up for us,” he said.
When asked whether she was facing some problems, he said, “No there was nothing like that, I myself had talked with her two days back. She was a brilliant student,” he added.
Namrita Chandani was discovered when her colleagues knocked at her room’s door and grew worried when she did not respond for several minutes.
They somehow managed to look inside the room from the crevice in the door.
“She was neither responding to the knocking at the door nor to our shouting,” her friend told the police.
The hostel’s watchman later broke open the door, only to find the student lying dead.
Larkana DIG Irfan Ali Baloch has given the incident’s inquiry to SSP Masood Ahmed Bangash.
The vice-chancellor of the medical college Anila Attaur Rehman said the incident appeared to be one of suicide but the police and the medico-legal report will be able to ascertain the actual cause of death after the postmortem.
