SHC tells LEAs to recover missing persons

Author: Agencies

The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday sought replies from defence secretary and home secretary of Sindh pertaining to the disappearance of more than 50 citizens.

A two-member bench of the SHC, including Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi, heard the pleas seeking recovery of over 50 missing persons. The bench also sought a reply from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) within 15 days regarding the disappearance of a Pakistani-Canadian citizen.

The wife of a missing citizen stated before the bench that her husband had been missing since the last six years, but there was no clue yet to his whereabouts. “My little children have grown up, but their father is still missing. He was taken away by unidentified persons in a double cabin vehicle,” she stated.

The bench remarked that police repeatedly called the families of missing persons, but they never conducted investigation. “Why Rangers did not conduct an inquiry against those who pick up the people publically?” the bench questioned.
