A lady doctor of Civil Hospital, who had filed a marriage annulment suit, was allegedly abducted by her husband from Canal Road on Monday.
Police started raids to find the abducted lady doctor.
As per details available with The Express Tribune, Abdul Qayyum's 25-year-old daughter, a Civil Hospital gynecologist and a resident of Mananwala Jatanwala area, was on her way to work in a rickshaw in the morning when her estranged husband, identified as Kazim Farooq, reportedly started following her near Canal Road Grammar School.
The accused along with his accomplices allegedly intercepted her three-wheeler and forced her into his car.
On the report of the rickshaw driver, a Madina Town police team started investigation.
According to the police officials, the doctor was married to Kazim Farooq a year ago but the couple developed differences leading to their separation. A case of annulment of their marriage had been filed a year ago.
Official added that the court called the lady doctor for hearing on Tuesday. However, the victim’s husband allegedly abducted her a day before the hearing.
Madinah Town police registered a case against the nominated accused including Kazim Farooq, Hafiz Habib and Nilofar Bibi as well as four unknown persons and launched raids to recover the abductee. Further investigation into the matter was under progress.
Cases of abduction of women were not uncommon in the province.
