At around 3:35am on Monday, the bodies were taken to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), where the doctors took their samples for DNA testing that will help identify them.
“The bodies were charred,” said JPMC’s joint executive director Dr Seemin Jamali, while talking to The Express Tribune.
The bodies were later moved to the Edhi morgue in Sohrab Goth. “We are waiting for the heirs of the two bodies that can be identified,” said Edhi morgue official Ghulam Hussain. “The remaining seven bodies cannot be handed over until the DNA reports confirm their identities.” Seven injured people were also brought to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital and were released after first-aid.
