Khalid told that Kainat wanted to make their marriage public but he had no intention of going through with it and as a result, she ended up taking her own life.
The police also revealed that the victim’s medical report did not prove that Kainat Tariq was pregnant as claimed by her mother. However, more details will come to light once they receive the forensics of the mobile phone data.

The family of Kainat Tariq is not satisfied with the police investigation and her brother Osama Tariq, who lives in Dubai, told the media outlet that he was unaware of his sister’s marriage even though they regularly communicated with each other.
However, he doesn’t believe that this was a case of suicide. “She would have told me if she was suffering from depression, but Kainat has never shared anything like that,” said Osama Tariq.
Osama Tariq also said that he used to send huge sum to his sister every month. According to the victim’s brother, the police can’t be trusted on the investigation as the Red Crescent Society Pakistan’s employee Khalid Bin Majid has strong political connections.
