KASUR: Police in Phoolnagar recovered the body of a minor girl who had been missing since January 15 near a drain on Wednesday.

Eman Fatima went missing from her home in Kharak Singh on January 15. The body was discovered by authorities in the village of Bughiwala, around 2 kilometres from her home.

According to police, Eman left her home to see her grandmother in the same neighbourhood but did not return. Following a diligent search, the family contacted local police and filed a case against unidentified kidnappers.

A team was formed to find the missing child, and drones were used to do so. On Wednesday, police recovered a sack-packed body after a farmer informed them. According to officials, Eman’s father identified the body.

According to police, the girl was strangled with a wire. The authorities believe it will be difficult to obtain a DNA sample from the decomposed body. Malik Tariq, CIA in charge, stated that police would use all available resources to solve the issue. Imran Karamat, DPO, visited to the scene.
