Musa Aftab was kidnaped from BBH on Wednesday after his mother Saima Noreen gave him to her 10-year-old daughter, Ayesha Fatima, in the OPD before she went in for a checkup.

Immediately after the incident, Malik Aftab, the father of the kidnapped child lodged an FIR with the Waris Khan police station and got the case registered against an unidentified woman, and obtained CCTV footage from the hospital.

Dr. Sohail Ahmed Chaudhry, BBH’s Medical Superintendent, directed the formation of a fact-finding committee, which blamed the parents of the kidnapped child for all lapses and negligence in its fact-finding report.

Meanwhile, CPO Rawalpindi congratulated SP Rawal, SDPO Civil Lines, ASP Newtown, and all those involved in the successful operation, saying that it was an ‘achievement not only for all of us but for humanity’.
