Police demand money to lodge FIR on kidnapping
A festival organiser operating his business in Dubai was kidnapped during his visit to Pakistan. The kidnappers demanded Rs5 million as ransom and threatened the family of murdering him if they reported the matter to the police.
However, when his father-in-law, Atiq, approached the police Rawalpindi to register a case, the police refused to cooperate and demanded Rs50,000 for the registration of an FIR. Atiq returned to Karachi and decided to report their complaint through the media.
Atiq, a resident of Gulistan-e-Jauhar, stated that he is residing with his family in Karachi and a few months back he got his daughter married to Ghulam Abbas who is an organiser of festivals and a Dubai national.
According to the detials, Ghulam Abbas was residing in a flat situated in Rufi Lake Drive, Block-18 Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Karachi. A few days ago, he went to Rawalpindi for some work and stayed at the Hotel Pearl Continental, Room No-215.
When no call was received from his son-in-law, Atiq travelled to Islamabad and was informed that on Sept 21 some unidentified men, at about 1600 hours, kidnapped Abbas from his room of PC. Afterwards, his family members received a call from Abbas from an unknown number in which he stated that he had been kidnapped. Later, Atiq received a message on his cellphone in which his son-in-law Abbas informed him that the kidnappers were taking him to Dera Adam Khel.
