Kidnap case against MNA, MPA

Published July 19, 2005

TOBA TEK SINGH, July 18: Gojra police on Sunday night registered an abduction case against ruling party MNA Chaudhry Amjad Ali Warraich and his brother MPA Chaudhry Bilal Asghar Warraich. According to a police report, one Munir Ahmad Jat of Jamil Park, Gojra, informed police that both brothers had sent about two dozen people armed with Kalashnikovs and other weapons in a wagon and a car. After torturing the complainant and his brother Bashir Ahmed, they took away with them. The armed men forced them to tell them about the whereabouts of complainant’s son Mudassar and nephew Anwarul Haq.

When abductors were informed that both of them were working in fields, they took them there and also kidnapped them as well. Later, the armed men brought all the four to Dijkot Road where they threw the complainant and his brother out of the vehicle and took away with them Mudassar and Anwaar. Before leaving, the abductors said that both of them would be taken away to the house of parliamentarians to teach them a “lesson” for passing some derogatory remarks against them.

The complainant said that when he and his relatives went to the house of parliamentarian brothers, they confessed that they had Mudassar and Anwaar kidnapped.

When contacted, a police official said that kidnapped youths were set free by kidnappers after torturing them.

Police have registered a case against the accused under sections 365, 337, 452, 148, 149 and 109 PPC while raids are being conducted to arrest eight nominated accused, including Hafeez, Ijaz Jajji, Farooq, Irshad and Malik Pappi.

However, no arrest has so far been made till the filing of this report.
