Police are still clueless about the whereabouts of four minor girls who went missing in Hanjarwal area four days back.
Anam Irfan 10, and Kinza Irfan 11, are sisters. The other two girls identified as Ayesha 14, and Samreen 8, were also sisters and friends and neighbours to Anam and Kinza.
The girls had reportedly left their house to visit Orange Line Metro Train but did not return. The complainant Irfan Iftikhar registered a complaint before the police mentioning that his two daughters along with their two friends left the house to visit Orange Line Metro Train (OLMT) but did not return home.
The family failed to find a trace of the girls.
“I believe they have been abducted by some suspects,” he shared his fear.
The complainant also shared a cell phone number that the girls were carrying with them.
