Minor girl's body found in sack
The body of an unidentified minor girl, believed to be between six and seven years of age, was recovered in a naked state from a drain near a wedding hall at Landhi Hospital Chowrangi on Mehran Highway on Wednesday, police said. The body, which was wrapped in a gunny bag, was several days old, according to police.
The grisly discovery was made within the limits of Quaidabad police station, near Gondal Wedding Hall. Upon receiving information, police reached the spot and summoned the Crime Scene Unit to collect evidence.
Speaking to the media, PS Quaidabad SHO Gulzar Tunio said that the girl could not be identified immediately. He revealed that on August 13, a girl named Aisha Gulalai, of a similar age, had gone missing from the limits of the same police station. A case regarding her disappearance had been registered at PS Quaidabad.
Police initially suspected that the recovered body might be that of the missing girl and summoned her family to JPMC for identification. The girl's father, paternal aunt, and maternal grandfather reached the hospital but failed to identify the body. SHO Tunio said a post-mortem examination would be conducted to determine whether the minor had been subjected to sexual assault.
