The Karachi police have decided to register a case after finding bodies of three newborns in a rubbish dump near Farooq Azam Mosque in the North Nazimabad area of the city.
According to a preliminary investigation report, all three bodies appeared to be full-term newborns up to one month of age.
The bodies were thrown in a jar which was filled with a chemical that prevents decomposition.
The report also suggests that these bodies could be from a laboratory or a medical college.
The police are currently checking records of laboratories in the area as they suspect their involvement in the ghastly crime.
The incident has sparked outrage among the people who have called for a thorough investigation and strict action against those responsible.
The police have urged people with information about the case to come forward.
Two premature infant bodies were discovered in a private hospital's restroom in the same area before the recent discovery of three newborns in a rubbish dump.
According to the authorities, hospital staff found the infants' bodies in a dustbin in the restroom.
The hospital's management revealed that two women visited the facility, one of whom had a pregnancy ultrasound.
After receiving the lab results confirming twins, both women went to the hospital restroom. They spent several hours there before rushing out, according to hospital officials.
A case had been registered against the women at the Hyderi police station.
