Teams were formed to search for the abducted Abbas. In the morning, it was discovered that a burnt body was lying in the fields on the outskirts of Gogera's jurisdiction, making identification nearly impossible.

Police informed Safdar Abbas's relatives about the discovery. The family identified Abbas through his ring. Taking note of the incident, DPO Mansoor Aman tasked the SHO to immediately trace and investigate this gruesome murder.

The SHO has initiated a search for the perpetrators using mobile data.

However, after necessary procedures, the police have transferred the coffin to the hospital for post-mortem.
