. Karachi Police Urge Schools and Parents to Prioritize Child Safety Amid Rising Abduction Cases
With child abduction cases on the rise in Karachi, police have introduced new safety guidelines for schools and seminaries to better protect children.
The advisory emphasizes that children should only leave school premises with their parents or legal guardians. Parents are also being urged to avoid sending their children to schools or seminaries alone, stressing the need for supervised travel to ensure their safety.
. Close Call in Korangi Highlights Growing Threat
A chilling incident in Korangi’s Bhitai Colony underscored the urgency of these measures. In Sector D, an attempted abduction was caught on CCTV, showing two men on a motorcycle targeting a young girl.
As one man tried to grab the child, she resisted and began shouting, while a woman accompanying her also raised the alarm. Their quick actions forced the kidnappers to flee.
According to reports, the suspect threatened the girl, warning he would harm her if she didn’t comply. The family has filed a complaint, and the Korangi SSP confirmed an investigation is underway to identify and apprehend the suspects.
. Ongoing Cases Leave Parents Fearful
This latest incident has reignited concerns about unresolved kidnapping cases in Karachi, leaving parents worried about their children’s safety.
In one tragic case, Sarim, a young boy abducted from New Karachi, was later found dead. Despite investigations, police have yet to identify the perpetrator.
Meanwhile, two children, Aaliyan (5) and Ali (6), remain missing after being abducted from Garden West. CCTV footage shows a man and a woman riding a motorcycle with the boys, who appear semi-conscious. Despite the footage, authorities have not yet located the suspects or the children.
. Calls for Action
Parents and communities are urging authorities to improve their efforts and ensure the safety of children. These recent incidents have highlighted the urgent need for stronger preventative measures and more effective responses to child abductions in Karachi.
