MANSEHRA: The rescuers in Upper Kohistan retrieved the bodies of 12 persons who were killed when a jeep fell into a river in Upper Kohistan late Thursday night, officials said on Friday.
“We have retrieved bodies of 12 people, including five men, two women, three boys and two girls from the bank of Indus River with a crane and handed them over to their families,” Raja Abdul Saboor Khan, the district police officer told reporters.
