FAISALABAD:
Twin newborn babies in Faisalabad passed away on Sunday allegedly due to hypothermia after being left out in the cold.
The infants were spotted in an open field near Toll Plaza on Sheikhupura Road by passersby.
“I received a telephone call informing me of the bodies of two newborns lying in the fields near Toll Plaza Sheikhupura Road, Mali Kabaria,” said the Station House Officer (SHO) of the Millat Town police station Muhammad Afzal. “I took the bodies into custody and a case has been registered against an unknown female under section 329 of the Pakistan Code (PPC)”.
Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) Shahid Ali, who has been assigned the case, told The Express Tribune that “the police did not conduct a postmortem of the newborns and buried them in the local graveyard with the help of the villagers.”
Responding to a question, the investigation officer said that both newborns were premature due to which they could not survive the severe weather. “However, we are investigating the case and the real culprits responsible for the death of the infants would be arrested shortly,” he added.
