RAWALPINDI: An expatriate Pakistani went missing at Benazir Bhutto International Airport soon after arrival from Saudi Arabia on Friday, police said.

Police feared Sohail Khan, a resident of Charsadda, might have been kidnapped. He had been in Saudi Arabia on work visa for the last few years.

Haris Ahmed, brother of the missing person, complained to the Airport police that his brother had arrived at the airport but did not come out of the arrival lounge.

He suspected that his brother had been abducted by some persons.

The airport police have registered a kidnapping case and launched an investigation.
