The story goes that Ms. Bebi questioned the police, “Who has hit her?” after hearing rumors that Falaq had been “punched” or that a door had been punched.
However, she informed Ms. Kearsley again and again that she was “upset” and “couldn’t remember” where she had gotten the information, before eventually revealing that she had overheard Falaq’s younger brothers discussing a punch.
While caring for Falaq, Shazia Bi, Falaq’s mother, said she couldn’t remember anybody talking about a punch.
