There were some body parts in a separate bag and the doctors will check whether these belonged to any of the bodies, Mahmood said. The hospital authorities collected samples from all the bodies and would conduct DNA tests later to identify them, he added. The relatives of the missing victims have been asked to give their blood and saliva sample to the authorities for the DNA tests.
