NAWABSHAH: Teacher kidnapped

Published April 12, 2008

NAWABSHAH, April 11: The case of kidnapping of a primary school teacher could not be registered due to a dispute over jurisdiction between two police stations.

Some unidentified armed dacoits intercepted a car near Mungia Mori on Thursday and kidnapped its three occupants, including teacher Ghulam Shabbir Gopang. Later, the kidnappers let the two kidnap victims go near Manharo but took away the teacher with them.

The freed men informed the family members of the teacher who reached the Bandhi police station to lodge an FIR. However, the police refused to register the case on the pretext that the incident had occurred in the jurisdiction of the Padidan police of the neighbouring Naushahro Feroze district.—Correspondent
