Protests over missing Pakistani girl

    Hundreds of people have protested in Pakistan over the police-handling of the disappearance of a girl.

    10-year-old Farishta vanished in Islamabad on 15 May but a case was not registered by police until four days later.

    A body believed to be hers was found on Monday.

    Farishta’s family say police told them the child might have eloped, and they were made to carry out errands for officers.

    A case has now been registered against the police officers involved.
