Hania Ahmed, a nine-year-old girl from Perth, dies after police in Pakistan open fire during an incident in Chakwal, Punjab province. Reports say she was visiting her great-uncle, Ali Ejaz, when the shooting occurred. Her father has publicly called for justice and says the case must be handled through the legal process. According to multiple Australian outlets, a police officer accused of killing her is facing court proceedings. The Guardian adds that the father also urges efforts to reduce the harm associated with a controversial police wing described as operating in the area, and that officers used machine guns in response to a robbery. Coverage across outlets consistently links the death to a police shooting in Punjab and highlights the father’s demand for accountability and the accused officer’s appearance in court. The accounts do not agree on additional details about the circumstances beyond the reported robbery response and the fact that family members were also affected, but they align on the central points: a young Australian dies following police gunfire in Pakistan and the case is now before the courts.
