Karachi (HRNW) Dua Zehra, a 14-year-old girl who went missing from Karachi’s Shah Faisal Colony ten days ago, has been traced from Lahore, the police said Monday.
According to Anti-Violent Crime Cell chief Zubair Sheikh, Sindh Police traced the girl after she sent her Nikahnaama to the police asking them not to look for her.
According to the document, she married 21-year-old Zaheer Ahmed – a resident of Lahore’s Shershah Colony. On the Nikahnama, Dua’s age is mentioned as 18.
Karachi Police forwarded the document to Lahore Police who conducted a raid at the address mentioned on Nikahnaam. Police, however, could not find Dua and Zaheer.
One of Zaheer’s relative was arrested during the raid. Police have also arrested Nikahkhwan and two witnesses who had signed the Nikahnama.
Dua’s father said that the age and other details mentioned on Nikahnama is wrong.
Dua went missing ten days ago. Zehra and her family live in Shah Faisal Colony’s Golden Town area. The incident came to light after Zehra’s father Syed Mehdi Ali Kazmi made a video with charity organisation JDC’s Chief Zafar Abbas in which they requested to people to look for their daughter.
The video went viral on the internet. Soon, Zehra’s photo with her details spread across the social media asking people for help in locating her.
Several celebrities have raised their voices and expressed hope the safe return of the teenage girl.
