According to police, the suspects killed the girl and quietly buried her in a local graveyard.

Earlier, Police had arrested the father and two relatives of a 25-year-old woman who was allegedly murdered after she married a man of her choice in Khanewal.
The family reportedly attempted to conceal the killing by portraying it as an electrocution incident.
