KARACHI: A delegation of civil society members and representatives of the Hindu community called on Inspector General of Police Sindh, Javed Alam Odho, at the Central Police Office (CPO) to seek renewed and effective action for the recovery of Priya Kumari, a minor girl who has been missing for several years.
The delegation included Priya Kumari’s father, Raj Kumar, senior journalist Mahesh Kumar, Advocate Kalpana Devi, Dr. Dharma Jesrani, and other activists.
