A young child who fell into a drain near Islam Chowk Benazir Colony Global School in Orangi Town went missing and his body was recovered 12 hours later.
Chhepa officials say that initially it has been reported that due to rain filling the drain and water accumulation on the road, the motorcyclist could not realize that and he fell into the drain along with the bike.
