The Islamabad police found the body of an ostensibly teenage girl in a garbage dump near Sangjani Bridge on Thursday morning.
The body of the victim has been shifted to the Pims for autopsy while the investigation has been handed over to the homicide unit.
Unable to identify the deceased, Tarnol police officials said that they would approach NADRA to obtain record of the victim. If not found, Tarnol police would approach other police stations in the district to obtain record. The police would bury the victim in the CDA graveyard in Sector H-11, in case no record of the deceased was found.
The police noted a wound on the girl's foot and scar on her arms which signify that she was assaulted with a sharp tool in the past. An amulet was also found on her wrist. The police officials said that by her looks and dressing, the girl looked around 16 years old from a well-off family.
