NEW DELHI: The lifeless body of 10-year-old Sara Sharif was found at her home in Horsell, Woking, on August 10th, leading to a thorough investigation into the details of her homeschooling situation. Prior to her unfortunate death, the girl had been taken out of school and was being homeschooled.
Surrey Police is currently making attempts to locate Urfan Sharif, the father of Sara Sharif, as well as his brother Faisal Malik and his partner Beinash Batool. It has been reported that all three of them had left for Pakistan the day before the incident occurred.

A neighbor, preferring to remain anonymous, disclosed that Sara had been withdrawn from school due to bullying over her hijab. Sara’s father’s partner Beinash Batool had informed the neighbor about the decision to educate Sara at home.
The neighbor raised concerns about Sara’s limited interaction with kids her age but the neighbor also recounted, “I suggested to Beinash that Sara needed to be with children her own age, she replied that she was making friends at the mosque and in her swimming lessons”.
The neighbor described Sara as “reserved and quiet.” The neighbor closely watched Sara’s interactions with her younger sibling, highlighting her gentle behaviour.The neighbor told BBC, “she often carried the baby in her arms, and sometimes I saw her playing with him. I never saw her smile or laugh.”
Efforts are underway to cooperate with Pakistani authorities to locate the individuals who departed the country before Sara’s death. Both Surrey County Council and Surrey Police have recognized that they had engaged with the family before, although these interactions were described as “restricted” and “dated.”
A Surrey Police spokesperson stated: “Detectives have confirmed that no other people were present at the address when they attended in the early hours of Thursday morning.
On Friday, St. Mary’s Horsell church in Woking opened its doors to the community, providing a space for members to come together for “prayer, reflection or comfort”. Outside Sara’s residence, floral tributes were placed, along with heartfelt messages commemorating a “”sweet girl” whose “sparkle was put out too soon”.
