Tortured body of missing female lawyer found in canal

LAHORE : The tortured body of female lawyer, who had been missing from Nawab Town, was recovered from a canal in Hafizabad.

An FIR had been filed earlier regarding the disappearance of Advocate Saira at the Nawab Town police station, following a complaint lodged by her sister, Ayesha. Saira, who had recently married a man named Bilal, had gone missing under mysterious circumstances.
