Two young members of a family died after they fell into a deep well in the Chakwal area.
Police said that Urooj Fatima, 13, reportedly slipped into an 80-foot deep dry well while throwing trash into it.
Her cousin, Hamza Rafique, 17, tried to go down the well to save her after tying himself to a rope. Both, however, died after inhaling toxic gases from the garbage.
Rescue 1122 officials retrieved the bodies and sent them for medico-legal formalities. The police registered a case.
Meanwhile, the Chakwal police arrested a bootlegger and seized 350 bottles of liquor from his possession. On a tip-off, the police intercepted a car (LEE-1948) and found the liquor during a search.
The suspect was identified as Zaigam. The suspect was shifted to the police station for further interrogation.
