During the hearing, Shaukat, former ambassador of Pakistan to South Korea and Kazakhstan, recorded his statement before Additional Sessions Judge Ata Rabbani, saying that his daughter was unjustly killed, and that he did not have personal enmity with anyone.

Noor was found murdered at a residence in the capital on July 20 last year.
