Amal Umer’s parents recall horrifying events that led to her death "Our daughter will not come back to life but we want the problems [that led to her death] to be eradicated. "We want laws to be passed to solve the issues, be them at the police’s end or the hospitals. "We shouldn’t address things when a tragedy occurs, even though we have already faced this tragedy," Amal's father said. The deceased child's mother, Beenish, said we are raising the question that there should be police training and assessment. The bullet that hit Amal was from an AK-47 and was fired by a policeman attempting to kill a bandit, who had robbed the 10-year-old's family a few minutes earlier as they waited at a traffic light to attend a concert on the eve of Independence Day. After Amal’s parents raised the issue and it was highlighted by the media, Chief Justice Nisar took suo moto notice of the incident and fixed the matter for hearing on September 25.
