Prime suspect Zaheer Ahmed has faced rape charges in the charge sheet prepared by the investigation officer (IO) Saeed Rind in a case related to the alleged abduction of a minor Karachi girl and her underage marriage.
Subsequently, an audio leak of a YouTuber, Zunaira Maham, has surfaced on social media in which she was seeking financial assistance from someone for the prime suspect Zaheer Ahmed and his family.
Informed Sources told News360 that the IO Saeed Rind included rape charges against Zaheer in the minor girl abduction and underage marriage case.
The charge sheet is likely to be presented before the judicial magistrate’s court on Wednesday (today) by the investigation officer (IO).

The inclusion of rape charges in the charge sheet has apparently increased the financial and legal troubles of the prime suspect.
An audio leak of a YouTuber, Zunaira Maham has also surfaced in which she sought funds from someone for Zaheer and his family.
Zunaira Maham was heard asking a woman for providing financial assistance to Zaheer and his mother as they want to file more petitions in the coming days through his lawyer.
She said that Jafri, seemingly Zaheer’s lawyer, did not demand any fees so far, however, Zaheer will need money for routine expenditures to defend himself in the cases against him.
She said that Zaheer and his brother were currently imprisoned while her mother wants to move more pleas to the courts. The YouTuber said that they are currently bearing the expenditures by their own during the case proceedings.
Maham also told the woman that she will inform Zaheer’s mother if she wants to provide some money to assist her.
On August 16, the lawyer of Mehdi Ali Kazmi, the father of the abducted girl, Jibran Nasir said in a tweet that the police through the prosecution submitted challan in the court ‘under Sections 363/364-A/368/375/34 PPC read with Sections 3 & 4 Sindh Child Marriage Restraint Act 2013 and Sections 3(ii) & 4(b) Prevention of Trafficking in Persons Act 2018 & 512 Cr.P.C’ against the accused.
