Crime scene: Two women among three kidnapped

Police register cases after months of delay

ISLAMABAD: At least two women and a man have allegedly been kidnapped in separate incidents in the capital, police said on Saturday. Though the alleged kidnappings took place months ago, police registered the cases on March 30.

The industrial area police on Friday registered a kidnapping case over a year after a seminary student went missing from Sector H-8. Tasawwar Husain told the police that his son Huzaifa Tasawwar was kidnapped from a seminary in H-8 on March 9 last year. The case has been registered against unidentified kidnappers.



Meanwhile, police said two women were allegedly kidnapped from within the remits of Khanna police in two separate incidents. One woman went missing from Burma Town while the other from Jabba Town in January this year. Khanna police have registered separate cases under Sections 496-A (enticing or taking away or detaining with criminal intent a woman) and 365-B (kidnapping, abducting or inducing woman to compel for marriage) of the PPC respectively.

All three cases were registered against unidentified people and police have made no arrests yet.
