Karachi Police rescued two girls, kidnapped from Lahore and Faisalabad, from a gang involved in sex trafficking. According to reports, Special Security Unit (SSU) personnel at Karachi Airport were approached by two young girls seeking help. 

The officers immediately took them into protective custody and called 15, after which the girls were shifted to the police station.

The victims, identified as 19-year-old Tayyaba and 17-year-old Humaira, told police that they were brought to Karachi by a woman named Ayesha on the promise of employment. However, she handed them over to a man who allegedly intended to sell them.
