Abduction turns out to be love marriage
ISLAMABAD: A girl allegedly abducted from Mirabheri area on Wednesday submitted a certificate that she has married her ‘abductor’. However her family accused the police of assisting the couple in their marriage by delaying their arrest.
On Tuesday, the Shalimar police had lodged an FIR against five men on the complaint of Muhammad Mushtaq, who alleged that they have abducted his niece. Mushtaq in his complaint had stated that On April 9 “I woke up at 3 am and found my niece, Sumaiyya Bibi, missing from our house. In the morning, we also found Rs 50,000 cash and some jewellery missing”.
He further stated in the FIR that accused Mamrez Ali along with his father Ali Shan and brothers Khan Muhammad, Amjad and Javed has abducted Sumaiyya. The police after lodging the FIR received a marriage certificate of Mumrez and Sumaiyya on the same day. The date of marriage was Tuesday.
ASI and investigating officer Ashfaq Ahmed Warraich told The Spokesman, “Sumaiyya was not abducted. She actually ran away with Mumrez. The couple after fleeing their homes married in a court and sent us their marriage certificate.
“The FIR against them will be cancelled when Sumaiyya presents herself in a court,” the cops said. He further said that according to the investigation, Sumaiyya’s mother also assisted her in her escape from home, however Sumaiyya in her written statement attached with her marriage certificate stated that she did not take any money or jewelry with her.
On the other hand, Muhammad Mushtaq, uncle of Sumaiyya Bibi and applicant of the FIR, when contacted, told The Spokesman that the police assisted the couple by delaying their arrest and providing then enough time to get married, instead of supporting the applicant family. “It seems we should have followed any step to catch the couple instead of reporting ito police as the police also supported the couple.”
