BAHAWALPUR: The Giliwal police in Lodhran claimed to have recovered two runaway class 9 students from Karachi.

This was disclosed by Lodhran DPO Beenish Fatimah at a press conference at the Giliwal police station on Sunday.

She said the two class fellows, Neha and Fiza, had mysteriously disappeared from their Government Girls High School, Giliwal, about five days ago after leaving their school bags in the school’s kitchen.

After an FIR was registered on the complaint of Neha’s father, DPO Fatimah formed a joint investigation team (JIT) to recover the girls.

According to the DPO, the JIT, headed by SP investigation Munir Badar, used geo-fencing and modern technology to trace the girls and located them in Karachi. She added that the Giliwal police brought the girls back and handed them over to their parents.
