KARACHI:
The body of Aurangzeb Alam, a schoolteacher who along with his two small children jumped into the sea near ‘Do Darya’ on Thursday, was recovered from the sea near China Port on Saturday.
The tragic incident unfolded after Aurangzeb, who was embroiled in a court battle over child custody due to domestic disputes, took his children with him after leaving the court. In a moment of overwhelming despair, he made the heartbreaking decision to jump into the sea.
