KP CM Sohail Afridi visits Ayat Noor's home, meets grieving father

He called for the harshest possible punishment for those responsible and demanded that the actual perpetrator of the crime against his daughter be publicly executed. Sohail Afridi expressed solidarity with the bereaved family, saying the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa shared their grief.

He said Ayat Noor was not merely the family’s child but belonged to the entire province. The chief minister became emotional while speaking to the girl’s father and condemned the manner in which the child was allegedly treated.

He assured the family of full government support and vowed that those responsible would be brought to justice and made an example. Afridi questioned the performance of the administration, saying that if children could not remain safe despite the presence of government authorities, there was little justification for keeping offices operational.

He also appealed to the courts not to provide any relief to those involved in the case and assured the family that no negligence would be tolerated during the investigation or legal proceedings. The chief minister announced that the proposed Child Protection Bill would be named after Ayat Noor.

He also said a high school in the girl’s area would be named in her memory. At the end of the meeting, Ayat Noor’s father embraced Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and became emotional.
