Authorities seem clueless about missing police officer, ex-attorney general

LAHORE: The authorities seemed clueless regarding the whereabouts of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mufakhar Adeel and former attorney general Shahbaz Ahmed Tattla as they went missing in Lahore, ARY News reported on Thursday.

Police investigators said their travel history is cleared as they did not depart abroad. However, the police officials remained clueless whether the SSP had been kidnapped or disappeared by himself. According to the police officials, SSP Mufakhar Adeel was not part of an interrogation team of any case.

They added that his vehicle was recovered from the parking area of a shopping mall yesterday, whereas, the last location of his mobile phone was Johar Town. The police officials expressed suspicions that the initial investigation signals his self-disappearance instead of being kidnapped.
