Police ‘kidnap’, keep fellow cop in illegal confinement

SSP Keamari Fida Hussaim Janwari says incident is been investigated

KARACHI:

After 'abducting' and keeping citizens in illegal confinement, rouge cops in Karachi police are now out to pick on their fellows.

A volunteer of Police Qaumi Razakar (PQR) was allegedly Kidnapped from the Baldia Town and released after hours-long detention.

A video statement of the victim Ayub Ibrahim went viral on the socal media in which he said, "I was going to perform duty in Baldia 24 area. I was at the corner of police station when a black Corolla stopped me. Three people were in plain clothes while one was in police uniform. They told me to sit in the car, when I refused they used force, but by that time I had sent a voice message to my commander," Ibrahim said.

He went to narrate his ordeal of being blindfolded and bundled off to Madina Colony police station.

He said the cops snatched his cell phone and motorcycle. Luckily he had alerted his senior about his location due to which the suspects had to let him go. "They left me in the Malir Halt area at about 3am," Ibrahim said.

The SSP Keamari Fida Hussaim Janwari said that they are investigating the case. "We will call involved policeman also and will take statement of Ibrahim too," Janwari said adding the case will be properly investigated and findings made public.
