A man drowned himself and his two young children at Do Darya near Seaview karachi on Thursday afternoon, police and rescue officials reported. Edhi lifeguards resumed the search on Saturday and found his body floating near China Port. They had already found the two children, Ahmed and Ayat, at Seaview on Friday morning.

Police identified the man as Aurangzeb Alam. He jumped into the sea with his son and daughter near a waterfront high‑rise building and never returned. Edhi and local teams carried out the rescue and recovery operation for two days.

South DIG Syed Asad Raza told that the children’s custody was discussed in court on July 31. The children’s maternal uncle, Rameez Husain, said the case was petition No 3290/2024. He also claimed that the custody matter was ‘amicably’ settled between Alam and his sister.

After the hearing, Rameez said the family went to Burns Road food street for lunch and seemed fine. Soon after, Alam told his wife he needed the toilet and left with the children. He never returned.

According to Rameez, the family immediately informed Madadgar‑15 and submitted an application at Aram Bagh police station. Despite the quick report, they could not find Alam or the children until the bodies were recovered.

Police and rescue teams first found the children’s bodies on Friday morning. They found Aurangzeb’s body the next day near China Port karachi during the resumed search. The incident came just a day after the custody case appeared resolved.

The tragedy has sparked discussions about mental health and safety along Karachi’s waterfront. Authorities are reviewing the timeline to understand how the events unfolded. Police confirmed no there were no other suspects and said the case involved only the father and his two children.
