According to his FIR, Kainat was poisoned to death allegedly by the Secretary-General of RCSP, Khalid Khan. Khan currently is in police custody for investigation.
Kainat’s father claimed Khan had secretly married Kainat and also took her to Britain. Moreover, Kainat’s mother suspected that she was pregnant with his child. As a result, Kainat was urging Khan to make their marriage public.
The FIR details also revealed that the total salary of Kainat was Rs 65,000. Out of that amount, her alleged husband used to keep Rs25,000 on a monthly basis. Kainat’s father added that there were disputes between them on a regular basis.

The investigation carried out by Islamabad police revealed new revelations in Kainat’s case. According to the Islamabad police, details got from investigation into the case were contradictory to the statements of her parents.
Police officials told Independent Urdu that Kainat died of the poison pills that she bought herself. According to them, they could tell this after collecting data from Kainat’s telephone and from CCTV footage outside her office.
According to Kainat’s post-mortem report, she had died after consuming phosphorus and there were no signs of wounds on her body. Police also found tablets and a shopping slip in her office drawer.
Kainat committed suicide, claims police investigation

According to police, area doctors had no facility to pump the patient’s stomach. Doctors than took Kainat to Holy Family Hospital. She eventually died in the hospital.

The details of Kainat’s death are quite similar to Dr. Maha’s case. Dr. Maha, also an influencer, allegedly committed suicide by shooting herself at her home in Karachi on August 18. However, police investigation later suggested she might have not taken her own life.
Dr. Maha’s did accuse some of her friends, including one of her colleagues, of raping and blackmailing her. So much so that in sheer despondency she took her own life.
