Seminary Teacher Accused of Abducting Two Minor Sisters from Karachi

1 min read

An abduction FIR was registered at Preedy Police Station on October 14 after two sisters went missing from a madrassa near Abdullah Haroon Road under mysterious circumstances last weekend.

The complainant, Muhammad Azeem Akhtar, has accused a school teacher of abducting his daughters. The girls, Amna, 15, and Ayesha, 7, live with him in Allah Wali Colony, a settlement on Abdullah Haroon Road, Akhtar told the police. The girls had gone to the nearby madrassa on Saturday and did not return home, stated the complaint.

When the distressed father inquired at the madrassa, he was told that the girls had already been dismissed. On pressing the matter further, Akhtar found that a seminary teacher, identified as Sultan, had taken the girls with him in his car.

Akhtar told the police that Sultan also teaches at Hyderi Model School in Hijrat Colony, where Amna and Ayesha also study in grades six and two, respectively.

Sultan would frequently insist on dropping them home personally instead of letting them leave in the school van, stated Akhtar, adding that Sultan had also been giving his daughters expensive presents.

Sultan’s mobile phone has been switched off since the sisters disappeared.

Officials at Preedy Police Station said they have launched an investigation into the matter and have retrieved CCTV footage from areas within the vicinity of the seminary and the girls’ home.

However, despite the abduction FIR, after accounts by students at the seminary, the police are also considering whether the elder sister had planned to run away.
