Accident – Death – Obituary News :
KARACHI: In a recent development, the Azizabad police in Karachi have successfully recovered a four-year-old girl named Ayesha Asghar, who had been missing since August 14, 2023. The police have also arrested a couple, Sumair and Seema, on charges of kidnapping the minor.
The couple claimed that they found the girl near the mausoleum of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah on Independence Day last year and decided to take her with them without informing the authorities or the police. However, after three months, they handed over the girl to a man named Abdul Moiz when her health started deteriorating.
Abdul Moiz, upon seeing the girl’s videos on social media and TV channels, realised that she was missing and promptly approached the police to reunite her with her parents in the presence of Central SSP Zeeshan Shafiq Siddiqi.
The parents of the missing girl had reported her disappearance at the Soldier Bazar police station after she went missing during the Independence Day celebrations at the mausoleum of Quaid-i-Azam. They expressed their gratitude towards the police for their efforts in recovering their daughter.
Legal Proceedings and Appreciation
Following their arrest, the couple was brought before a judicial magistrate for remand. The magistrate granted the police custody of the couple for further investigation, allowing a three-day remand period and requesting a progress report.
An FIR was lodged under Section 364-A of the Pakistan Penal Code at Soldier Bazar police station last year when the girl’s father reported her disappearance amidst the crowded Independence Day celebrations at Numaish Chowrangi.
The Sindh governor and home minister commended the efforts of Central SSP Zeeshan Shafiq Siddiqi and his team for successfully recovering the missing girl and apprehending the suspects.
