KARACHI, Dec 21: A father whose minor daughter was kidnapped has accused the police of colluding with the kidnappers and urged the authorities to order immediate action.

Jam Ameer Ahmad, speaking at a press conference at the Karachi Press Club on Saturday, said that his minor daughter was kidnapped on Dec 10 and she returned home three or four hours later.

He said his daughter was standing at gate of her house in the morning around 10am when a boy named Aftab Jamote kidnapped her. His wife received telephone calls threatening to eliminate the family if they did not keep quite.

He said when the girl returned she seemed to have been intoxicated. She later told the family that she was taken to some unknown place where she was given something to drink and started to lose senses. She however remembered that her signatures and thumb impressions were obtained, without her consent, on some documents.

Jam Ameer said he went to the Ibrahim Haidery police station to get an FIR registered, but he was approached by Shafi Jamote, a local influential and a relative of Aftab Jamote, who advised him to wait for some time and the issue would be solved by the Panchayat.

He waited for four days but when the issue was not even discussed he went to the police station, and with much difficulty succeeded in getting an FIR registered under the Hudood Ordinance Section 11 / 506 / 34 PPC against the boy who had kidnapped the girl. After that, he said, his house was fired upon at midnight.

He said he again went to the police station and got registered an FIR under sections 147 / 148 / 324 / 109 / 504 against Zain Jamote, Zahid Jamote, Adeel Jamote, Aftab Jamote, Qasim Shah, Sidiq and others.

He said though many days had passed since the FIRs were registered, the police had not taken any action and all the accused were at large.

He appealed to the authorities to take action and order the police to arrest the criminals who, he said, were very influential people.
