Islamabad:Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed said the kidnapping case of Afghanistan ambassador’s daughter is expected to be solved within 72 hours.
Briefing media in Islamabad on Sunday, he said the police registered a case on the written complaints of Afghan Ambassador’s daughter Silsila Alikhel last night. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan has given very clear directions that the culprits, involved in this case, should be arrested at the earliest.
He said that the Afghan ambassador’s daughter had left her home on foot and arrived at a market.
“From the market, she took a taxi to Khadda Market for shopping,” he disclosed. “We were able to know about this with the help of the Safe City Cameras,” he added.
The minister said from Khadda Market, the ambassador’s daughter took another taxi to Rawalpindi.
“We also have a footage of her getting out of a taxi at a Rawalpindi shopping mall,” he added.
Rasheed said she then took a third taxi to arrive at Daman-e-Koh.
“The only gap [in the investigation] that we are facing is that how was she able to arrive at Daman-e-Koh from Rawalpindi,” he added.
The minister said authorities have also interviewed the driver of the third taxi that the ambassador’s daughter used to commute, adding that she could have gone straight to F-6 but chose instead, to go to F-9 area in Islamabad.
Rasheed said the government registered an FIR against the kidnapping at 2:00am in the morning, as per PM Imran Khan’s directives.
Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said Indian media, while unleashing negative propaganda against Pakistan, misused this incident to misguide the international community. He said the media would be apprised about the findings as soon as the investigations are completed.
Regarding Dasu incident in which several Chinese nationals had been killed, the Interior Minister said Pakistani and Chinese agencies are jointly probing the matter.
