SAHIWAL: Police are clueless about three cousin girls who went missing in Chichawatni and Sahiwal city.

SP Investigation Shahida Naureen on Saturday visited Chak 110/9-L of tehsil Chichawatni to meet the family of six-year-old girl who had been missing since Nov 22.

Police have reportedly failed to trace six-year-old Adeeba who went missing mysteriously. She had gone out to buy boiled eggs from a vendor but did not return home. A case was registered with the Chichawatni Saddar Police.

Surprisingly, Adeeba’s cousins Malaika (16) and Ammara (18), residents of Chungi No 2, also went missing from Ghala Mandi area of Sahiwal on Nov 24.

On the other hand, Akbar Ali, the father of missing girl Malaika, said his daughter and niece (Ammara) had gone to school but did not return. Both are students at the Government Girl High School, Saraki Bazaar, Sahiwal.

Their case was registered with Ghala Mandi police.

Saddar DSP Akmal Rasool said police interrogated more than two dozen people on suspicion but no concrete information was found.

Adeeba’s father Mubarik Ali and Malaika’s father Akbar Ali demanded police trace their missing children.
