The Gujrat district police officer (DPO) on Monday was given a week to recover a missing girl.
When the district police officer told the Lahore High Court that notices with the girl’s picture had been displayed around the city to help find her, he was admonished by Justice Mazhar Ali Akbar Naqvi, “Doesn’t the girl’s family have any respect in the society that the police have pasted her photographs around the city?”
The judge then directed the DPO to make sure that the girl is produced before the court on April 9. The DPO was also directed to submit a reply in writing to explain why he had not appeared before the court at the two last hearings despite being summoned. Bilqees Bibi, the girl’s mother is seeking the recovery of her daughter. She alleges that her daughter was kidnapped by the staff of a religious seminary in Kharian where she was studying.
