On Thursday, Zohaib Qureshi, the main suspect in the kidnapping of Dua Mangi, eluded police custody. For a hearing, he was taken to City Court.
The police officers escorted him to a shopping centre on Tariq Road on their way back to prison. Qureshi is seen entering the mall wearing a blue shalwar qameez and a dark jacket with a cap, according to surveillance footage. He was questioned for a vaccination certificate at the entrance.
He can be seen exiting another gate with shopping bags in his hands. Qureshi boarded a rickshaw and left.
In the Dua Mangi kidnapping case, Qureshi was detained along with three others.
Two officials have been detained by Ferozabad police.
Mangi was abducted from Karachi’s DHA in November 2019. The suspect also shot her friend who was with her at the time.
In an anti-terrorism court hearing in October 2021, Mangi identified three suspects, including Cresi, as kidnappers.
She said that only they could be identified as Cresi, Ali, and Raja dragged her into the car and shot her friend Fatah in an attempt to save her.
