Initial Autopsy Reveals Nine-Year-Old Pakistani-Australian Girl Struck by Five Bullets in Fatal CCD Shooting

Detailed Report

  • The Medico-Legal Findings: The initial post-mortem report of nine-year-old Pakistani-Australian citizen Hania Ahmed has laid bare the extreme intensity of the firing by the Crime Control Department (CCD) in Chakwal. Prepared at the District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital Chakwal, the report documents 11 distinct firearm wounds ranging from 1.5 to 3 centimeters across her body. Forensic experts estimate that the injuries were caused by at least five separate bullet impacts, all sustained during her lifetime.

  • Internal Trauma and Cause of Death: While the minor's head and neck remained miraculously untouched, the ballistic trauma devastated her internal organs. The report lists the official causes of death as fatal firearm injuries, severe polytrauma, excessive internal and external bleeding, and immediate cardiopulmonary arrest. Metallic fragments, blood-stained clothing, and critical biological samples recovered during the procedure have been handed over to law enforcement to be processed by the Punjab Forensic Science Agency (PFSA) in Lahore for the final report.

  • High Court Bench Takes Up Case: In parallel with the medical disclosures, an urgent constitutional petition was formally registered before the Rawalpindi Bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday. Filed by advocates Mian Asif Mehmood, Nazakat Abbasi, and Maimoona Bint Imdad, the petition has been fixed for an immediate hearing today, Thursday, June 18, 2026, before senior judge Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan. The legal move follows unacknowledged appeals previously sent to the Prime Minister and the Director General of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

  • Demands for Independent Accountability: The petition strongly demands the immediate constitution of a high-level judicial inquiry commission alongside an independent, civilian criminal investigation led by the FIA. The moving party argues that the CCD's allegedly indiscriminate firing—which also left Hania's father and brother critically injured—violates fundamental constitutional rights and undermines institutional lawfulness. The petition relies heavily on the landmark LHC precedent Surayya Bibi v RPO Sheikhupura, which legally mandates that external, impartial bodies must spearhead investigations into extrajudicial actions and police encounters to ensure state accountability.
