Two girls kidnapped

Published January 20, 2013

RAWALPINDI, Jan 20: Three children, two of them teenage girls, were kidnapped from a children’s park in Satellite Town.

Although the little boy accompanying the girls was thrown out onto the road by the kidnappers, who fled with the girls in a black car, police said.

It took four days for the police to register a case on Saturday as the girls’ parents were reluctant to seek the police’s help.

Instead, the parents were trying to locate the girls on their own but after failing to find them, lodged an FIR with the New Town police.

The father of one of the girl’s said in his complaint that he dropped his daughter along with her girlfriend and younger brother at the public park in Satellite Town, on Wednesday afternoon.

He said that after two hours he returned to the park to collect the children but found his son sobbing and the two girls missing.

When he questioned the boy about the whereabouts of the girls, the boy replied that they were dragged into a black car by the kidnappers.

However, later, the kidnappers pushed the boy out and fled from the scene.

When contacted, the father of the girl said the police were not able to trace the missing girls but he had traced the location of the girls through their cell phones.—Staff Reporter
