Man disappears with father's money

RAWALPINDI:

A unique incident has been reported in the Dhamial area of Rawalpindi, where a man living in Saudi Arabia for 45 years claims that his son disappeared mysteriously after receiving Rs10 million from him. The father, who had come to Pakistan on vacation, discovered that his son and the money were missing and subsequently registered a case at the police station. The police have launched an investigation into the matter.

According to the Dhamial police, Javed Iqbal stated that he has only one son, Abdullah Khan. Iqbal has been working in Saudi Arabia for nearly 45 years and came to Pakistan on vacation on February 4, 2025. However, just a few days before his arrival, his son went missing after learning of his father's return to Pakistan.

During his time working in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Iqbal's son informed him that he was studying at the National University of Modern Languages (NUML) and wished to pursue higher education in Australia. Abdullah had told his father that the expenses for his studies in Australia would amount to about Rs10 million. Since he had only one son, Iqbal never imagined that his own child would deceive him. Trusting his son's intentions, Iqbal sent the full amount of Rs10 million for his education in Australia.

However, when Iqbal informed his son that he was returning to Pakistan, Abdullah disappeared with the money before his father's arrival. Iqbal has been searching for his son on his own ever since but has not been able to locate him.
