While speaking to Geo News, the boy’s father Zaheer Ahmed said: “I appeal to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to ensure justice for my child. This issue is not just about my child but all our children.”

He further remarked that beasts such as Azhar Iqbal should be taken to task and publicly hanged.

“I just want justice for my child,” she added.
