KARACHI: A young boy and a girl, who “went missing” from outside their home yesterday near North Nazimabad’s police station, have “safely returned to their home,” with law enforcement officials at disagreement on how they got back.
The two siblings allegedly went missing from Karachi’s North Nazimabad district the day before.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Central Zeeshan Siddiqui stated to Geo News on Wednesday that the 12-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy told the police in their statements that they left their home alone.
Later, in his testimony to the police, the child stated that he and his sister spent the night at a couple’s house.
“We left the house willingly on our own. We spent the night at our uncle and aunt’s house. [Maternal] grandmother and aunt used to hurl abusive words at us and make us do the cleaning,” he said.
