Preliminary investigations suggest the body had drifted through the drain from an unknown location
KARACHI:
A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded when the body of five-year-old Sawera Bibi, who had gone missing two days earlier, was recovered from a stormwater drain near Liaquatabad B-Area on Wednesday evening.
Police and rescue teams retrieved the child's body from the drain and shifted it to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for legal formalities. Initially unidentified, the little girl was later recognised by her devastated parents as Sawera, daughter of Muhammad Jameel, a resident of Sikandar Goth, Sachal.
According to SHO Ghulam Yasin, preliminary investigations suggest the body had drifted through the drain from an unknown location and appeared to be one to two days old. The police ruled out any signs of restraint.
