Two missing women, toddler found dead in Dinga pon…

GUJRAT: The bodies of three females, including a two-year-old girl, who had gone missing from the Dinga area a day earlier, were recovered from a pond in Mohallah Chaar Gah , police said.

The deceased were identified as Arooj Fatima, Haleema Sadia and two-year-old Ruku Fatima. According to police, all three had gone missing from the jurisdiction of Dinga police station on August 25.

Following their disappearance, a kidnapping case had been registered at Dinga police station on the complaint of the family. A search operation was underway when their bodies were found in a pond in Mohallah Chaar Gah.

Police said a heavy contingent was deployed at the scene after the recovery of the bodies. Crime Scene Unit personnel and teams of the Punjab Forensic Science Agency (PFSA) also reached the site and collected evidence for further investigation.

The bodies were later shifted to a hospital for post-mortem examinations.

According to preliminary police findings, the three victims appeared to have died due to drowning. However, police said the matter was still being investigated from different angles and the final cause and circumstances of their deaths would be determined after the completion of medico-legal and forensic procedures.

The recovery of the bodies sent shockwaves through the locality, particularly because a kidnapping case had been registered only a day earlier after the three females went missing.

District Police Officer Gujrat Faisal Shehzad visited the scene following the recovery of the bodies. He was briefed by police officers and also gathered information from residents of the area about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The DPO directed the officers concerned to conduct a complete and transparent investigation and examine all possible aspects of the case.

He said the legal and investigative process should be completed strictly on merit and no aspect of the incident should be overlooked.

Faisal Shehzad also met the bereaved family members and expressed his condolences over the deaths. He assured them that police would complete all legal and investigative formalities in accordance with the law.

Police officials said the post-mortem reports and forensic examination of evidence collected from the scene would play an important role in determining whether the deaths resulted solely from drowning or whether any other factor was involved.

Investigators are also examining the timeline of the disappearance and other circumstances leading up to the recovery of the bodies from the pond.

The Dinga police said further proceedings would be carried out in light of the post-mortem findings, forensic evidence and the results of the ongoing investigation.

The bodies were handed over for further medico-legal procedures as police continued their investigation into what officials described as a tragic and sensitive case.

No final conclusion regarding the circumstances of the deaths had been announced by police at the time of filing this report, while investigators continued to collect evidence and record statements from relevant persons.

    Kylie Kelce opens up about difficult pregnancy fas…

    Kylie Kelce is never afraid to keep it real, especially when it comes to motherhood. The podcast host recently opened up about one of the least glamorous parts of pregnancy—finding comfortable clothes—and admitted that she simply “didn’t like” most maternity fashion. During a recent episode of her podcast, Not Gonna Lie, Kylie reflected on dressing through her pregnancies and explained that comfort always came before style. As the mother of four daughters, she said she quickly learned that traditional maternity clothing often failed to meet her expectations, leaving her searching for easier and more practical alternatives.  Rather than filling her wardrobe with maternity outfits, Kylie revealed that she frequently turned to her husband Jason Kelce’s oversized XXL T-shirts. The retired NFL star unknowingly became her fashion lifesaver, with his loose-fitting shirts offering the comfort she couldn’t find elsewhere. Laughing about her approach, Kylie summed up her pregnancy fashion philosophy in one simple sentence: “If it fits, you wear it.” She admitted she still borrows Jason’s shirts even after giving birth because they remain some of the most comfortable pieces in her closet.  Although Kylie owned maternity jeans, they were far from her favorite choice. She confessed that she rarely wore them because they never felt as comfortable as she had hoped. Instead, she preferred lightweight maternity dresses, explaining that they offered better airflow and were much easier to wear throughout pregnancy, particularly during warmer months.  The 33-year-old also recommended one wardrobe staple that carried her through different stages of motherhood: Lululemon Align high-rise leggings. According to Kylie, the stretchy pants worked well before, during and after pregnancy, making them one of the few items she considered a worthwhile investment.  Kylie has built a loyal following by speaking honestly about motherhood, pregnancy and postpartum life without trying to present a picture-perfect image. Whether discussing body changes, parenting challenges or everyday mishaps, she has consistently encouraged women to embrace practicality over unrealistic expectations. Earlier this year, she also spoke openly about the emotional challenges of postpartum body changes, reminding mothers that adjusting to a new body takes time and patience.  Married to former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce since 2018, Kylie often credits her husband for supporting her through every stage of parenthood. While borrowing his clothes may have started as a practical solution during pregnancy, it has become a humorous reminder of how the couple navigates family life together. Kylie’s candid reflections have resonated with countless mothers who have struggled with maternity fashion. By sharing both the frustrations and the funny moments, she continues to remind women that pregnancy isn’t about looking perfect—it’s about finding what makes you feel comfortable, confident and supported.

    Japan’s 7.1 quake injures 50, cuts power to 40,0…

    A powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake jolted Japan’s southern Kumamoto prefecture on Tuesday, leaving at least 50 people injured, disrupting transport and cutting electricity to around 40,000 homes as authorities warned residents to remain alert for aftershocks. The earthquake struck Kyushu, Japan’s southwestern main island, at a depth of about 10 kilometres, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). The tremor reached the highest level of 7 on Japan’s seismic intensity scale in parts of Kumamoto, underlining the strength of the shaking. The powerful tremor damaged roads, bridges and buildings, while transport services across the affected region were thrown into disruption. Rail services, including high-speed trains, were suspended, while Kumamoto airport also temporarily closed its runway. The earthquake also triggered an emergency response across Kyushu. Authorities urged more than 150,000 residents to evacuate as officials assessed damage and monitored the situation. Reports said a fire and explosion occurred at a shopping mall, while a goods train was derailed during the chaos. For residents, the immediate concern was not only the first powerful jolt but the possibility of more shaking. Japanese authorities issued warnings over potential aftershocks and landslides, urging people in affected areas to remain cautious and follow official instructions. A tsunami warning was also issued after the earthquake, with authorities warning of waves of up to one metre along parts of the Ariake and Yatsushiro seas. The warning was later lifted after no significant tsunami activity was observed. Despite the widespread disruption, there were no reports of irregularities at nuclear power plants in the affected region, providing some relief as authorities continued their assessment. The earthquake has also drawn attention because Kumamoto has experienced devastating seismic activity before. The region was badly hit by a major earthquake sequence in 2016, which caused extensive destruction and hundreds of deaths. Japan is among the world’s most earthquake-prone countries, making disaster preparedness a central part of everyday life. Yet the latest tremor again demonstrated how quickly a powerful earthquake can disrupt communities, transport networks and essential services. With rescue and assessment operations continuing, authorities are now focused on helping those injured, restoring electricity and transport, and preparing residents for potentially dangerous aftershocks.
