LAHORE – In a major development, the Lahore police Monday recovered a 14-year-old girl named Dua Zehra from the Punjab’s capital around ten days after she went missing in Karachi.
The teenager, according to reports, disappeared from outside her home in Alfalah area of port city’s Shah Faisal Colony on April 16.
Zehra in her statement told police that she had come to Lahore on her own wish.
Lahore police have informed authorities in Karachi about the recovery of the girl, who has been taken into protective custody.
