KARACHI: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Saturday indicted five accused in kidnapping case of Dua Mangi who was abducted from Defence Housing Authority (DHA) in Karachi.
The suspects Zohaib, Muhammad Tariq, Muzaffar Ali, Waseem Raja and Fayyaz Solangi were charged by the court, while Agha Mansoor was declared a proclaimed offender over his continued non-appearance.
The court after summoning the investigation officer and witnesses in the case adjourned the hearing of the case until January 25. Dua Mangi was abducted on November 30, 2019, and later returned home after a ransom was allegedly paid. A preliminary statement from the victim was recorded on Tuesday during proceedings.
On March 18 last year, the police had arrested two suspects from different areas in the country in Dua Mangi and Bisma kidnapping cases. Additional IG Ghulam Nabi Memon had said that a five-member kidnappers’ gang led by an ousted police officer was behind the abduction of Dua Mangi and Bisma.
Mangi had identified the kidnappers who abducted her outside a restaurant in DHA. The hearing of the case was in the court of the Judicial Magistrate South, Karachi.
