At least four persons, including the husband of the complainant and his sister, have been booked by People’s Colony police for snatching property registry documents, $3,000 and other belongings after torturing an overseas Pakistani national.
According to the police, Farah Naseem, a resident of Muslim Park, People’s Colony, stated in her complaint that she is an overseas Pakistani and her three children are all citizens of the US by birth.
Naseem said, “My husband Mohammad Amir Ashraf along with his relative Farooq Afzal, brother-in-law Amjad and sister Ayesha Amjad abused me over a domestic dispute and they stole three US passports of minor children, identity cards, original registries of plots, $3,000 and cash from my bag. They had locked up me and the children in a room.”
She added that she called her brother Yasir Naseem and when he came, the suspects snatched the valuables and fled. Police have started searching for the suspects.
The police registered a case against the suspects under Section 380 of PPC which states that, “Whoever commits theft in any building shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years.”
