HARIPUR: The investigation into murder of Haripur’s Ayat Noor continued after police recovered the body of a five-year-old girl who had been missing for 15 days. Authorities handed over the body to her family after a postmortem at a local hospital.
It may be recalled that Ayat Noor disappeared from Pathan Colony two weeks ago. She had reportedly left home to play but did not return. Her father later asked police to register a kidnapping case.
