FIA’s cybercrime cell joins investigation into Dua’s disappearance

The cybercrime Circle of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has jumped into the ‘mysterious’ kidnapping case of a teenage girl, Dua Zehra Kazmi, in Karachi. An FIA team visited the girl’s family in order to get digital evidence that could help the police investigators probe the case and recover the girl.

The case of mysterious disappearance of the teenage girl from Karachi’s Al-Falah Colony area is yet to be solved as police continue to look for her. Fourteen-year-old Dua Zehra Kazmi went missing around six days ago.

The four-member team of the FIA that visited Dua’s home explained that the agency had taken the initiative of joining the case itself. “No one approached us as it is a police case but it is our own decision to help the family and the police investigators for the early and safe recovery of the girl,” FIA cybercrime cell chief Imran Riaz said as he spoke to The News before visiting the girl’s house. “We are carrying out technical support, looking into social media accounts and doing other work.”

He said the FIA team was to visit the missing girl’s house. “Let’s see what we find from the house digitally,” the officer added. Three special police teams have been formed for early and safe recovery of the girl but they have so far achieved no breakthrough despite the passage of six days since the girl went missing.

A day earlier on Thursday, Dua’s mother said that if her daughter was not recovered, she and her family would commit suicide in front of the Governor House.

The girl had reportedly stepped out of her house to dispose of garbage when she went missing. After the case was highlighted on social media, Karachi police chief Ghulam Nabi Memon visited the girl’s house to assure her family of complete cooperation on part of the law enforcement agency. Karachi police investigators also conducted a raid in connection with the Dua case in Sanghar district on Thursday but they found another young girl during the raid. The investigators also did not find any CCTV footage that could help them solve the case.
