The case of the mysterious disappearance of a teenage girl from Karachi’s Al-Falah area is yet to be solved, as police continue to search for her.
The police also raided a house in Sanghar, but could not find the missing girl. The owners of the cell phones from which the calls for ransom were made had been taken into custody by the police.
On April 16, 14-year-old The Minor had gone missing from the Golden Town area of Al Falah. Police registered a case and launched an investigation. In this regard, SSP Anti-Violent Crime Cell Zubair Sheikh said that the police were working diligently on the matter.
Police raids are continuing in Karachi and other cities of inner Sindh. Police first raided a house in Sanghar on Wednesday, but found nothing. Thereafter, another house was raided. The Minor could not be found during the raid, but during the action, police found another girl who is from Karachi.
In response to a question, the SSP said that the numbers which called to demand ransom were provided by The Minor’s father to the police. They were traced by law enforcers and the suspects were also taken into custody.
Now the girl’s mother has revealed on Waseem Badami’s show that the local mosques refused to announce her daughter being missing due to sectarian issues.
Her father has also said that if his daughter is not recovered then he and his family will attempt suicide in front of the Governor House.
“My daughter wasn’t even going to school for the past one and a half years,” her father told the publication.
The girl has been missing for nearly a week, but there has been no clue about her whereabouts since she had stepped out of her home to dispose of garbage.
The father said that they lived on the first floor, explaining that his daughter had gone down to the ground floor to dump garbage, but she never returned.
After the case was highlighted on social media, Karachi police chief Ghulam Nabi Memon visited the girl’s home to assure her family of complete cooperation on part of the law enforcement agency.
“We’re doing our best,” the police chief told journalists after visiting the family. “Three special police teams have been formed to find the girl. Soon the girl will be with her family. We have no objection if someone from the family wishes to join the investigation team.”
A team of the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) also met the girl’s father. AVCC chief Zubair Nazir Shaikh said they have formed three teams, and they are working on getting CCTV camera footage to trace the girl’s whereabouts.
“We’re taking all measures to find the girl and are in touch with her family to gather all information regarding her disappearance,” he said. “A case has already been registered at the Al-Falah police station.”
A police official said that an investigation into the incident had been launched, with the footage from the CCTV cameras installed in the area being examined to trace the whereabouts of the girl.
