Groom disappears hours before wedding

A groom went missing just hours before his wedding ceremony in Korangi's Madina Colony. The young man, Jehanzaib, was scheduled to be married on September 11. On the evening of the wedding, he left home around 5pm to visit a nearby salon for final preparations but never returned.

Jehanzaib's brother, Waseem, filed a report with Zaman Town Police Station, stating that Jehanzaib had left his mobile phone at home before heading out. The family suspects that he may have been abducted.

SHO Nafeesur Rehman of Zaman Town Police confirmed that they are in contact with the family and a formal FIR will be registered soon. He added that efforts are underway to locate the missing man, but no breakthrough has been achieved so far.

Jehanzaib was reportedly employed at a private factory. His sudden disappearance has turned what should have been a joyful occasion into one of anxiety and distress for the entire family.

'Police involvement' in kidnapping-for-ransom

Serious allegations have surfaced against the city police officers in another kidnapping-for-ransom case. Shah Latif Town residents apprehended a man allegedly sent to collect ransom and recorded the confrontation on video.

The suspect, who identified himself as Basit, claimed he was part of a "private party" working under SHO Zamir Khawer of Shah Latif Police Station. In the video, which has gone viral, Basit admitted that he and an associate, Saleem Chandio, had kidnapped several citizens and held them near the police station.

Basit also confessed that the victims were abducted two days prior and that no formal FIR had been registered against them.

According to the victims, individuals posing as police officials had even instructed them to transfer the ransom money into a bank account.

Following the video's circulation, SSP Malir Khaliq Pirzada issued a show-cause notice to the concerned SHO, and DSP Malir City has been tasked with conducting a formal inquiry. SSP Pirzada said that if any officer is found involved, strict legal action will be taken.
