Before her marriage, Iqra was a resident of the Kashana shelter home. Former Kashana superintendent Afshan Latif had alleged that Iqra Kainat was murdered in a bid to wash away the proofs of sexual abuse at the shelter because the deceased was an important witness of the case.
According to the postmortem report available with Naya Daur, Iqra died at the hospital due to hunger and thirst and samples acquired from her stomach have been sent for forensic examination to find out whether she was poisoned.
