A 21-grade officer and Sindh secretary for human rights, Dr Badar Jamil Mandhro, who is reportedly facing a corruption case, has returned home after ‘going missing’ in Karachi on Friday.
Ferozabad Station House Officer Aurangzeb Khattak told media on Sunday that the senior officer’s wife informed the police that her husband returned home early in the morning.
Karachi Police Chief Additional Inspector General of Police Ghulam Nabi Memon said that the officer was avoiding a meeting with the police.
The officer said that investigators tried to meet and record Mandhro’s statement earlier but the family told the police that he was not feeling well, adding that the police will try to interview the bureaucrat again on Monday.
He further said that the family had not lodged any formal complaint with the police about his disappearance. On Saturday, DIG South Sharjeel Kharal told Dawn that Mandhro reportedly made telephone contact with his wife at around 2:30am on the night between Friday and Saturday and told her that he was in Defence Housing Authority.
The DIG said that the police came to know about his disappearance on Saturday and they used technology to trace him. His mobile phone was traced to Nazimabad before being switched off there at around 4am. A source at Chief Minister House said that the ACE has submitted its report to Shah, stating that they have not arrested the provincial secretary.
