Man seeks recovery of ‘abducted’ daughter

KOHAT: An elderly man has warned of committing self-immolation in front of the provincial police chief’s office if his ‘kidnapped’ daughter is not recovered forthwith.

Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Iqbal Shah, a resident of Tora Stana area of Gumbat tehsil, alleged that Akhtar Ali of Nizampur area had married with his daughter after kidnapping her seven months ago. He alleged that the man later sold her to someone in Rawalpindi.

He lamented that despite his repeated applications, the district police officer, Kohat, took no action to recover his daughter, who was already married.

He said though the culprit had been arrested, his daughter was still missing.

He appealed to the chief minister to take notice of his misery and ensure early recovery of his daughter.
