PESHAWAR, May 13: A person has requested the chief justice of the Peshawar High Court and the provincial police chief to take action against some police officers who are not registering FIR against the kidnapping of his wife by a gang of women traffickers.

One Noorul Islam told Dawn that his wife was abducted by three people five days ago, but officials of Gulbahar police station were reluctant to register the case.

He urged the chief justice and police chief to pay heed to his case and provide justice to him.

Noorul Islam, 26, earns livelihood by washing cars near the Haji Camp bus stand and hails from Chota Lahor of the Swabi district. He is presently been living in Pabbi.

He accused Jehanzeb, 75, of kidnapping his wife, Samia, 20, and his two-year-old son, Kamran.

He said that Jehanzeb, resident of Shahdand in Peshawar, worked at a bargain centre and was also assigned the duty to look after a peace of land and was provided a living-quarter in Pabbi. The man had taken them as son and daughter and were therefore living with him.

“On May 9 my wife told me to take her to a lady health worker in Sheikhabad area,” he said, adding that when he reached Haji Camp bus stand Jehanzeb told him that he should continue his routine work of car-washing and he would take his wife to the hospital.

He said that five days had passed but the whereabouts of his wife and son were not known. He alleged that he came to know that a person, Attaullah, and a woman, Kochae, with the abetment of Jehanzeb kidnapped his wife and son.

Advocate Arbab Fakhr-i-Alam, filed an application on his behalf with the sessions court under section 22-A of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Noorul Islam had requested the court to exercise its power and direct the police station concerned to register an FIR. The application would be taken up for hearing on May 17.
