But the news has turned out to be fake. The above-mentioned people fell victim of a fire but it was an accident and not a hate crime, Veerji Kohli, Special Assistant to the Chief Minister, Sindh confirmed. He further said that there was a sudden fire in Lalu Bheel’s house and that caused the deaths of those three children called Kartik, Kelash and Rubina.

However, the Hindu community that constitutes more than 4 million of the Pakistan's population has been a victim of religion based violence in the province of Sindh since 1947.
