Kashmiri held for selling 3 daughters
 Police have arrested a quake refugee who allegedly sold his three daughters to two couples. Mohammad Shafique, a resident of Muzaffarabad, has been living at relief camp No 193 in Sector H-11 since November. His wife and eight children were killed in the October 8 earthquake. Sources told Daily Times that Shafique, with the connivance of camp manager Azmatullah, sold his three daughters — Sonia, 3, Ulfat, 5 and Riffat, 8 — to two couples for Rs 300,000.

Sources said that Shafique also gave a share of money to the camp manager and disappeared from the camp along with his two sons, Amir and Saqib.
