Some unidentified persons had poured Elfy, highly adhesive substance, into both the eyes of the minor boy in Karachi‘s Awami Colony and fled.

The boy was taken to Sindh Government Korangi Hospital, where he was administered eye drops to offset the effect of the super sticking liquid, following which he was able to open his eyes.

Had he not been given medication on time, he would have risked losing his eyesight, the police officials who reached the hospital upon being informed of the incident had said.

They had handed over the custody of the boy to Sarim Burney Trust to look after him until his parents were traced.
