Development comes hours after family release video claiming they are ready to fight their case in court
Pakistani police have reportedly raided at least 20 properties as they search for Sara Sharif’s family hours after the release of a video in which they claimed they are ready to “fight our case in court”.
Sara’s stepmother Beinash Batool’s remarks marked the first public comments about the 10 year-old’s death.
In a video released to broadcasters on Wednesday, she said the family were running out of food and were scared to leave their homes.
Sky News has reported that police have carried out a series of raids in the search for the family with the focus of the operation in Jhelum and Mirpur.
