The burnt body of a minor girl wrapped in a chador has been found from an empty plot near Isa Nagri.
According to Express News, a charred body of a 5-year-old girl was found wrapped in a sheet between Saturday and Sunday night from the grounds of the former Malik plant near Issa Nagri. They rushed to the spot and took the body into custody and shifted it to Jinnah Hospital.
According to police, the abductee was identified as 5-year-old Marwa daughter of Omar Sadiq. The victim was a resident of Pir Bukhari Colony Block A in the same area. The victim has a younger brother while his father drives a rickshaw. Omar Sadiq, the father of the victim, said that Marwa had gone to the shop near her house at around 7 am on Friday morning to fetch the item. The shopkeeper said that Marwa had taken the item from him but he did not know where she had gone. It was known everywhere and even after announcing it in the mosques of the area, the girl was not found out. The girl's father had registered a case of kidnapping of Kimsan Marwa by the PEB Colony police while posters of Marwa's disappearance were put up in his area and other surrounding areas including Gulshan-e-Iqbal.
Between Saturday and Sunday night, a body was found on the ground floor of the old Malik plant behind the Mekasa apartment at the behest of a man. The victim's family and area residents identified Marwa by her adorned green shalwar. The girl's body was burnt.
Police say the accused set the body on fire to erase his identity. More evidence will be found after the post-mortem report comes out. He was taken into custody and transferred to the police station. The victim's grandfather said that he had no ancestral enmity and no transaction dispute with anyone. The accused involved in the case should be arrested and handed over to him as soon as possible so that the accused can be made a warning sign and no such incident has taken place.
