Kalhoro was ordered to pay a fine of Rs 1 lac, failure of which will result in a one-year extension in his prison sentence.

The incident took place on November 13 in 2017 in the limits of Naundero police station.

Dead body of the 9-year-old was found from a pond, while tests later revealed that she had been subjected to sexual assault before being murdered.
