According to the police, Muhammad Ibrahim has three first information reports (FIRs) registered against him at different Kasur police stations. The cases related to robbery and possession of illicit arms, they said.

Meanwhile, an operation to find the bodies of three of the five drowned children continued today. The bodies of two siblings were fished out a day earlier. The funerals of the two children have been held.

The police said Ibrahim, a rickshaw driver, was arrested from the place of the incident. He would often quarrel with his wife Razia Bibi due to which the latter had gone to stay with her parents at Manga.
