- ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani girl Roheela, who has been searching for her father in Indian jails for over a year, rejected the claims Friday made by the Indian media that her father died in Samjhota Express bomb blast.
Local media reports say Roheela, who belongs to Hafizabad, said she is certain that her father is still alive as she has proof.
She said that she has been searching for her father in Indian jails for more than a year and registered the case after he went missing.
She told the media that she has visited India thrice in this regard and will be going again after receiving a letter from India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Roheela refuted the claims made by the Indian media that her father died in the Samjhota Express tragedy as her DNA has been matched with one of the victims.
She further said that she came to know about the arrest of seven persons in India through a letter after which the news of her father's death emerged in the media. She termed such news as propaganda against her family.
