What began as an ordinary outing for a family turned into an unimaginable tragedy. The Gul Plaza incident has left loved ones shattered, as four members of the same family were finally identified and laid to rest on Sunday, while two remain unknown.

Of the six members, the bodies of four victims were identified and handed over to their relatives on Sunday from the Edhi morgue in Sohrab Goth.

The bodies were transported to the family's residence by Edhi ambulances.

According to the Edhi Foundation spokesperson, the affected family belonged to Delhi Colony and had visited Gul Plaza for shopping. DNA testing helped identify four victims, including three women.
