Two minors still missing for 6 days in Karachi after Sarim case

Another distressed mother is worried about her five-year-old son Aliyan, also known as Ali, who went missing from Karachi's Garden area. Aliyan's six-year-old friend also disappeared along with him. The families of the victims fear for the children's safety.

It has been a week since the disappearance of five-year-old Aliyan and six-year-old Ali Raza, but the police have failed to recover the minors, despite the availability of CCTV footage showing a woman and a man riding a motorcycle taking them away.

"Neither has anyone contacted us for ransom, nor do we have any enmity with anyone. We are exhausted from searching," Aliyan's father told a private news channel.

On the other hand, Aliyan's alleged kidnapping has "pushed his mother into severe depression, causing her to lose consciousness repeatedly," he added.

"I don't know where my child is in this harsh winter. He has not worn a jacket and socks. I don't know which oppressors picked my child," said Aliyan's mother while requesting authorities with teary eyes that "please bring my child back."

The police claimed to have arrested at least 19 suspects during a combing operation and said they had gathered evidence to find clues for recovering the two children abducted from the garden.

“During the search operation, 19 suspects were detained and shifted to a police station,” Dawn quoted a police spokesperson as saying. He said that the suspects were being interrogated.

The police also announced Rs300,000 reward for providing any information regarding the missing boys.
