A man threw his three children into a canal over a domestic dispute on Saturday.
According to police, Safia along with her three children had gone to her parents’ home at Rajowal village after quarrelling with her husband Haji Mumtaz some months ago.
On Saturday, Haji Mumtaz collected his son Ali Waqas (7), and daughters Maria (11) and Munazza (8) from school and took them to the Lower Bari Doab near University of Education Campus and pushed them into the canal.
Ali Waqas managed to swim out of the water and rushed to call for help in a nearby locality. Local residents retrieved Maria after hectic efforts but she could not survive the drowning. Efforts are underway to search for Munazza by the time this report was made.
