Ali, during court proceedings, admitted to the rape and murder of the minor girl. 

The Lahore High Court had directed the ATC to wrap up the trial within seven days of the suspect's indictment.

Ali was arrested on January 23. His DNA also matched samples taken from seven other minor girls who were abused and murdered earlier in Kasur.

Evidence against the accused included DNA and polygraph tests, his own clothes, CCTV footage and a medical report.
