Last week, another minor's murder had been reported from the same area in Peshawar. Later, the city's top cop had given a statement that the child was neither sexually abused nor had his organs been removed.
Peshawar CCPO Muhammad Ali Gandapur had denied that the kidney or any other organs of the murdered child were removed. He quoted doctors as saying that the child was not raped before the murder either.
An investigation committee was made. No updates, however, have since been provided by the law enforcers.
