Peace committee chief kidnapped



By Our Correspondent


LANDI KOTAL (Khyber Agency), Aug 13: Bara Peace Committee chief Mulana Ahmad Khan has been kidnapped. The committee’s spokesman Mustamin Khan told journalists in Bara that the maulana had been missing for the past two days. He said unknown people had called the maulana on his cellphone and sought a meeting with him.

Sources said some people had taken the committee’s chief in a car from his house in Shalobar on Thursday night and he had been missing since then.

The committee’s members held a meeting on Friday and informed elders of all the seven local tribes of Bara about the kidnapping.

However, they have not lodged a report with the political administration.

Mulana Nusrat Amin has been appointed new chief of the peace committee.

The committee was created last year to help the administration in the maintenance of law and order in the tehsil, which had become a hub of outlaws and anti-social elements.

BOY DROWNS: A three-year-old boy drowned in a water tanker in his house on Friday.

The boy’s father Nowshad Khan said his had gone missing on Friday morning and his dead body was found floating in the underground water tank at his house.

WASHED AWAY: Two vehicles were washed away by floodwater after heavy rain and thunderstorm hit the area on Friday afternoon. No one was injured.
