KARACHI: Body found

Published May 12, 2002

KARACHI, May 11: The body of an infant was found in a storm-water drain in Saeedabad on Saturday.

Khalil Ahmed had reported to police on Friday night that his one-and-a-half year old son Mohammad Mohsin had been missing since Friday evening. Police found the body on Saturday morning in a storm-water drain. The body was sent to a hospital for postmortem examination where no mark of injury or torture found on the body.

Police, however, believed that as the wall along the drain was higher than of the height of the infant, he could not have crossed it, and it appeared to be murder. Hence a case of murder against unknown people was registered.

ARRESTS: The Buffer Zone police arrested five alleged robbers and recovered illegal weapons from them.

Police said they arrested two bandit red-handed while they were committing a robbery and three more were nabbed in different places and TT pistols were also recovered from them.
