LAHORE, April 29: The Model Town investigation police failed on Tuesday to make headway in the kidnap of a Divisional Public School student for Rs2 million ransom.

Sardar Ali Khan, the girl’s father who is the information technology expert of United Nations Organisation (UNO) in Lahore, blamed the school administration and watchman for negligence and demanded action against them.

He alleged that the police were not making serious efforts to trace the kidnappers of her daughter, Farhana Sardar, a matriculation student at the DPS, Model Town.

“I have no doubt in my mind that the school administration is involved in my daughter’s kidnap as how can the watchman allow the girl to leave the premises during school timings without gate pass and arrival of any member of the family,” the Sardar, a resident of Gulberg, told Dawn.

According to the FIR, the complainant said, he was going to collect his daughter from the school when he received a call (a landline number) by an unidentified Pushto-speaking man who claimed kidnapping his daughter and demanded Rs2 million ransom for her release. —Staff Reporter
