ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Police has forced a poor man to buy three air tickets to Karachi for each of them to find out his missing wife and children. The dutiful police of Islamabad have become ready to go to Karachi by air at the expenses of a poor applicant for performing its duty. A security guard, Gul Nawaz, had lodged a complaint at Police Station Shahzad Town on November 20, that his wife Shazia and three children named Rabia, Bilal and Ibrar were missing from his residence situated at Tarlai Kalan, a suburb of Islamabad on October 19. He told the police that he tried to find his family members himself but in vain. He blamed that a person Ali Raza and some of his cohorts might have been involved in the kidnapping of his family members. After registering the case he went again and again to the police stations for many days but the police did not help him. At last they collected the mobile data of the applicant’s wife and doubted Ali Raza and told him that Raza’s phone was traced in Karachi. They also demanded three air tickets from him to go to Karachi even though he has requested the police officials that he is a poor man and meeting both ends was hard for him. He could not afford the luxury of buying three air tickets for them but in reply the police officers said that in that case he should trace out his missing family himself. Although the police took the air tickets but did not visit Karachi.
