Punjab Police recovered four missing girls —Anam, Kinza, Ayesha and Samreen — from Sahiwal on Wednesday, five days after going missing in Hanjarwal area of Lahore. Lahore CCPO Ghulam Mehmood Dogar said that it was premature to say that the girls were abducted or they had gone to Sahiwal on their own will. "The real facts about the incident would be revealed after a thorough investigation," he added while speaking to the media. IGP Punjab Inam Ghani also confirmed the development on his official Twitter handle. "Right now they are in our safe custody and very soon we will take them to their families in sha Allah. It is our duty to provide security to our kids," he further wrote.
