Bukhari said the woman had abducted the child after managing to deceive Ali. He said police had immediately used geo-fencing information, Facebook and Whatsapp data to trace Sania’s phone number. “The woman was using a Dubai-based number. This made it difficult to collect her CDR data,” the SP said. Bukhari said a perusal of her Facebook profile had revealed that Sania’s real name was Rabeel and she had been in contact with Zahid. He said police had discovered that Zahid would be arriving in Pakistan on a one-day visit after interrogating a few of his acquaintances. He said his booking details had revealed a number that matched with Sania’s. The SP said a special police team had nabbed Sania from Lahore’s Mughalpura area and recovered the abducted boy after determining her whereabouts. Bokhari said Zahid had also been arrested from Allama Iqbal International Airport upon arrival.
