‘Recover Sapna Khan’: SP given till March 8
Judge dissatisfied with police performance.
LAHORE:
Justice Sheikh Najmul Hassan of Lahore High Court on Friday directed the Civil Lines superintendent of police to recover actress Zeba Khan alias Sapna Khan and produce her before the court on March 8.
The judge is hearing a petition seeking Sapna Khan’s recovery or registration of a case against her former husband, former Punjab chief minister Sirdar Dost Muhamamd Khosa for allegedly killing her.
The judge observed that Sapna Khan has been missing since June 2011.
The police had earlier informed the court that her friends and relatives had not seen Sapna Khan since June 2010. They said her bank account had also not been operated since then and there was no record of her leaving the country.
Missal Khan, father of Sapna Khan has filed an application stating that despite court orders several times, police was reluctant to register a case against Khosa. He alleged that Khosa was using his political influence to stop police from taking an action against him.
He said that the last time he had seen Sapna Khan was when she was living with Khosa at their house in GOR-1.
He said when she did not contact them for several days, he called Khosa, who told him that his family should not call him. Missal Khan has alleged that Khosa and his men kidnapped Sapna Khan and have killed her.
Khosa has also approached the court seeking Sapna Khan’s recovery and alleged that her family are involved in her disappearance.
