LAHORE, June05(ABC): In a major development, the Punjab police have finally recovered Dua Zahra — the 14-year-old girl who had mysteriously gone missing from Karachi in April but later declared that she had run away from her home to marry 21-year-old Zaheer Ahmed — from the Chishtian area of Bahawalnagar, it emerged Sunday.
Confirming the report, Anti-Violent Crime Cell SSP Zubair Nazir Sheikh said that Dua Zahra and her husband Zaheer Ahmed have been taken into protective custody. He maintained that the couple will be brought to Karachi after completion of legal formalities.
The couple was recovered from a lawyer’s house by the CIA police.
Dua has been recovered after over one-and-half months since going missing from Karachi.
In a bid to put pressure, the Karachi police have already taken all the family members of Zaheer Ahmed into its custody.
Earlier, Dua Zahra’s family had lodged a report about her abduction on April 16, however, she later revealed on the internet that she had tied the knot with Zaheer Ahmed.
