The South Investigation Police have safely recovered a three-year-old girl who was allegedly kidnapped from Seaview beach.
The minor, identified as Warisha, had gone missing from the beach on the third day of Eid-ul-Fitr. A case regarding her kidnapping was registered at the Darakhshan police station on March 25.
Police said the child’s photographs and details were circulated on social media platforms to aid in her recovery. She was later found safe near Jackson Masan Chowk. A suspect, identified as Abubakar, has been taken into custody, and further investigations are underway.
Earlier, the case had been registered at the Darakhshan police station on kidnapping charges on the complaint of the child’s father, Waseem. The complainant, a resident of Nazimabad, stated that he had visited Seaview with his family for recreation on the third day of Eid-ul-Fitr. He said that during the outing, his three daughters were with him. Two of them ran towards the sea in the crowd, prompting him and his wife to chase after them, while Warisha was playing with the sand on the beach.
“When we returned, Warisha was not there,” he said, adding that the family searched extensively for the child but could not find her. He alleged that unknown individuals had kidnapped his daughter. He appealed for her safe recovery.
Darakhshan SHO Rashid Ali said that a large number of people had thronged Seaview during the Eid holidays, and dozens of children had gone missing over the three days but they were later reunited with their families by the police.
