GUJRANWALA: A youngster, in connivance with his uncle, allegedly killed his 22-year-old sister over “honour” and dumped her body in a canal near Kamoki on Monday.

According to Kamoki circle Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Khalid Aslam Jathol Ehsan, a resident of Kahoga village, was suspicious of the character of his elder sister Sabahat (22).

On Monday, Ehsan and his uncle took Sabahat to the bank of Kingerwali Canal on some pretext where he strangled her to death and threw the body into the canal. The suspects then fled away.

On being informed of the incident, police and Rescue 1122 teams reached the spot and launched an operation to retrieve the body from the canal.

However, despite a five-hour-long search, the Rescue 1122 divers could not find the body and the operation had to be postponed till Tuesday (today) morning.
