ISLAMABAD, Dec 2: A charred body of a man working in the United Bank (UBL) was found on Friday from the eighth floor of the building where a massive fire erupted on Thursday, police said.

The recovery was made when a cleaning contractor of the building approached the police with the complaint that one of his workers working at the building as a cleaner was missing since Thursday morning.

The contractor further stated that the worker – Ghulam Farid, 35, a native of Attock – went to 14th floor of the building where UBL offices are located to perform his duty and the fire incident took place.

In response of the complaint, the Kohsar police came to the building which was sealed on Thursday evening after the incident and conducted search of the cleaner along with the colleagues of the missing person and building management.

After hours long search a body was found buried under debris at eighth-floor of the building which was under the use of Hashwani Group.

Ghulam Farid was identified by the contractor through his shoes. Later the body was shifted to hospital for autopsy and other necessary legal process. The presence of the victim at the floor raised several questions, which, the local administration said, would thoroughly be investigated.
