“After the post-mortem, the cause of death will be determined whether the death was due to drowning or any other reason,” the police said in a statement.

The deceased went missing on May 30, after she was witnessed walking along with a seven year-old-boy, according to the family. The victim’s family alleged that the boy in his statement has said that he was given Rs50 by a man to bring the girl to him.

The family filed the missing report at the police station. The CCTV footage showed that a boy was holding the girl’s hand, the family added.

The victim’s family has demanded immediate arrest of the perpetrators and to bring them to justice.

A similar case was reported in April when a missing minor girl was found dead in an underground water tank in the Sohrab Goth area. She was reported missing for three days.
