The incident sparked uproar on social media with people demanding the police to take an action against the suspects involved in the case.

Taking action, Sukkur DIG Javed Soonharo Jiskani directed SSP Shikarpur Rohal Khan Khoso and ASP Mohammad Nauman Zaffar to probe the matter.
When the police officials visited the village, the family initially attributed the Fatima’s death to illness. However, they later agreed to speak up.
