Girl kidnapped 3 days before marriage found dead in a sewer in Mirpurkhas

Police arrested four suspects from the Gugh Mori village near Jhudo town of Mirpurkhas on Friday for their alleged involvement in the kidnapping and death of a 19-year-old girl.

The girl's body was found in a sewer of the village on Friday morning, following which police arrested four out of the six alleged kidnappers.

The victim, Jamiat Kapri, was allegedly abducted a fortnight ago from her village Fakir Mohammad Kumbho near Naukot town, just three days before her marriage.

Her father, Parial Kapri, had registered an FIR of his daughter's kidnapping at the Naukot police station, in which he had nominated six people. However, those arrested by the police insist that the girl had run away by choice and gotten married to a man named Hassan Kapri. The girl's family denies the claim.

Confirming the incident, the Deputy Superintendent of Police of Jhudo town, Mohammad Ayub Dars, said that the girl's body bore torture marks and had been shifted to Taluka Hospital for an autopsy.
