The Jhelum police have recovered five children of the accused Urfan Sharif, who fled to Pakistan after his 10-year-old daughter Sara was found dead in the UK.
The 10-year-old girl was discovered dead at her family’s Woking house on August 10; the day before, her father and his partner had left the country.
Sara was discovered to have “multiple and extensive injuries” according to post-mortem examinations.
“The children taken into custody include Noman, Azlam, Ihsan, Hina, and Bisma Sharif,” said DPO Jhelum.
“Sara Sharif’s accused father Urfan Sharif is still absconding, raids are being conducted to arrest the hidden accused,” he added.
Sara’s grandfather, Muhammad Sharif, claimed to have been sheltering the kids at his residence in the northeastern city of Jhelum.
Numerous cops gathered outside the residence, halted traffic, and forbade anybody from using their phones to record, according to witnesses who spoke to the BBC.
According to Sara’s grandfather, the police then removed all five of the kids.
