The bodies of two missing minor siblings were found Sunday in a nearby pond in Shahdara area of Lahore.
According to a family members Ismail,3 and Adil 5, had been missing from home since Saturday evening. Bodies were found from the deep pond that is filled with poisonous chemicals from a nearby factory.
One of the locals alleged that despite several complains in local administration about the poisonous pond nothing had been done about the hazardous pond.
Later on, the relatives of deceased family have put the bodies on the Shahdara chowk, blocking the road in protest. They claimed that police did not help despite their pleas, and that rescue workers also reached the location very late.
On the other hand police said that there was no evidence of murder from the bodies or the location. Superintendent Asad Sarfaraz said that a case had been registered at the local police station, but further details could only be ascertained after a post-mortem report.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has taken notice and ordered the Lahore city police chief to submit a report on the incident.
