On previous Tuesday, police was informed about a body of a child in a ditch. Later, the police also recovered remains of two more minors from the sand dunes.

A wave of shock and terror gripped Chunian when the police recovered the bodies.

Locals suspected a gang was behind the killing of minor boys after rape.

The traders association of Chunian had today given call for strike to protest against the incident.

Infuriated participants of the protest attacked the police station with sticks and pelted stones at the premises.

The protesters also burned tyres at roads and chanted slogans against police to express their anger and disappointment over the department’s failure in safe return of the missing children.

After the incident the attendance of children in local schools goes down and streets of the area have deserted.
