A kidnapping FIR was registered at Preedy police station on Tuesday after two sisters went missing from a madrasah near Abdullah Haroon Road under mysterious circumstances last weekend.
The complainant, Muhammad Azeem Akhtar, accused a school teacher of kidnapping his daughters. The girls, Amna, 15, and Ayesha, 7, live with him in Allah Wali Colony, a settlement on Abdullah Haroon Road, Akhtar told police. The girls had gone to the nearby madrasa on Saturday and did not return home, according to the complaint.

When the distraught father inquired at the madrassa, he was told that the girls had already been sent away. Pursuing the matter further, Akhtar discovered that a seminary teacher, identified as Sultan, had taken the girls with him in his car.
Akhtar told the police that Sultan also teaches at Hyderi Model School in Hijrat Colony, where Amna and Ayesha also study in sixth and second grade, respectively.

Sultan often insisted on personally dropping them off at home instead of letting them out in the school van, Akhtar claimed, adding that Sultan had also been giving his daughters expensive gifts.
Sultan’s mobile phone has been turned off since the sisters disappeared.
Preedy police station officials said they launched an investigation into the matter and recovered CCTV footage from areas near the seminary and the girls’ home.
However, despite the kidnapping FIR, according to the accounts of the seminary students, the police are also considering whether the elder sister had planned to flee.
