Female school teacher kidnapped, killed in Karachi
2015-09-03
[DAWN] KARACHI: A female school teacher was kidnapped Wednesday morning from her school in PIB Colony and later in the day found murdered in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
's Korangi Industrial Area, said police.

The dead body of the school teacher, identified as Quratul Ain, 26, was found with her hands and legs tied in an abandoned area in Allahwala Town of Korangi, said Landhi SP Afnan Amin.

She was "taken away" from a school in PIB Colony Wednesday morning and was found murdered in the afternoon.

The Landhi SP said Sherlocks have found "significant clues" about the identity and motive of the suspects, adding that some of them were tossed into the calaboose for questioning.

The dead body was shifted to Jinnah Post-Graduate Medical Centre where the cause of death will be determined after chemical examination, said Dr. Seemin Jamali, head of the hospital's emergency department.

Dr. Jamali said there were bruises on the dear departed's body.

Gulshan SP Abid Qaimkhani said the family of the dear departed had filed a report at the PIB cop shoppe saying their daughter was missing since 7:30 am on Wednesday from a private school in PIB Colony.

The police officer said CCTV footage from the school showed that another girl, identified as Aliya, arrived at the school in the morning along with her friend, Rubab, and a man identified as Baqar.

SP Qaimkhani said the three of them took Quratul Ain to a 'rest house' near the Saudi Consulate in Defence.

CCTV footage from the area showed Aliya, along with Quratul Ain and a man, stepping out of a car and going inside the rest house. Subsquently, Rubab is seen leaving the place in the same car, said SP Qaimkhani.

Later in the day, Quratul Ain's dead body was found in Korangi, with her hands and legs tied.

The Gulshan SP said police have detained Aliya and a man named Hassan, who he claimed was the victim's fiancé.

"Initial probe suggests the girl, Aliya, hatched a plan to kill Quratul Ain to marry Hassan, her boyfriend," opined the Gulshan SP.

Investigators at this point believe Aliya sought Rubab's help in persuading the dear departed school teacher to go out along with the group. Rubab, they say, was also Quratul Ain's friend.

SP Qaimkhani said Aliya had "taken away the victim promising to remove some 'misunderstanding' between Quratul Ain and Hassan (her fiancé). Officials added that Hassan introduced himself as a social activist but said his activities had been "dubious" which is why he had been taken into custody for questioning.

SP Qaimkhani said police have also set up another investigation team to probe those who were present in the Defence rest house to ascertain whether the victim was "tortured and killed" there before being dumped in Korangi.
