The girls, daughters of a migrant laborer, were found inside an iron trunk during a search conducted at their residence in Maqsudan, Jalandhar.

Amrita Kumari (9), Shakti Kumari (7), and Kanchan Kumari (4) had gone missing on Sunday evening, prompting their parents to launch a frantic search. The family reported their disappearance at 11 pm, following which the police initiated an investigation.
