ISLAMABAD, June 28: A woman, whose two teenaged daughters were abducted in April, has succeeded in getting a case registered after a period of more than two months. KM, a resident of Dhok Kala Khan, Rawalpindi, lodged an application in the office of Senior Superintendent of Police Islamabad for registration of a case against the kidnappers who later sold out her daughters, sources told Dawn.

They said the application had been submitted in the office of SSP after the complainant failed to lodge a complaint of abduction with the police stations of Attock, Rawalpindi, Dera Ghazi Khan and Islamabad.

As a last resort, she submitted an application in the office of the SSP, who directed the Woman Police Station of Islamabad to register case, they added.

KM, a mother of five children, in her complaint, stated that she and her two daughters SJ and MJ were maids, and her husband had passed away some 10 years back.

She along with her daughters was waiting a passenger bus at I- 9 Chowk on April 20 to go to a house, located at Karachi Company for domestic work. In the meantime, her so-called brother MA, along with her wife (S), one MW and two unidentified persons, riding in a white colour vehicle came to the Chowk and offered lift to them which they accepted.

All the women fell unconscious after MA and MW sprayed something on them. When she regained her senses on April 21 she found herself in the house of her so-called brother in Attock. She was told that her daughters had gone to Rawalpindi but when she returned home, she found her daughters kidnapped.

Police registered a case and investigations were in progress.

However, the police confirmed that both the girls were in Dera Ghazi Khan and said that after receiving the telephone call their mother visited her daughters and stayed with them for one month.

The police claimed that both the girls had been married but it was yet to be identified whether these were forced marriages.
