The incident occurred May 3, 2016, when Shah Hussain stabbed Khadija 23 times. This happened near Shimla Hills in Lahore, where she went to pick up her sister from school with her driver. Moreover, Hussain’s lawyer, Maqsood Buttar, stated that there were no undue favors from the government in Hussain’s release. Hussain, like any other prisoner, was entitled to remissions under the law and prison rules.
