Mehdi Kazmi has filed a petition in Session and District Court through lawyer Jibran Nasir to replace the investigating officer in the alleged kidnapping case of his daughter. The complainant said the present investigation officer’s behaviour seems biased and the family has no trust over him. He also expressed concern that the investigation officer will not produce Dua Zehra for the check-up to determine her age. He pleaded the court to change the investigation officer with a qualified officer. The development comes after the Sindh Health Department formed a medical board to determine the age of Dua Zehra. The girl is expected to present before the board for check-up. Jud
