Missing person FIR registered on Jan 5, a day after the girl went missing.
Zainab, 7, had gone to a tuition centre near her house in the Road Kot area last Thursday on Jan 4, after which she was allegedly abducted. Zainab's parents were in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage), according to her family, and she had been living with a maternal aunt.
Soon after her abduction, her panicked family had received footage showing her walking with a stranger near Peerowala Road. This video has since gone viral on social media.
On Tuesday, a police constable deputed to trace the girl recovered her body from a heap of trash near the Shahbaz Khan Road.
Police said the girl seemed to have been killed four or five days eearliar. Police had reluctantly handed her body over to the family fearing protests.
Govt and the concerned authorities must take action.
She is not the first in the last years
