This incident comes in the wake of a similar occurrence in July, wherein three other minor girls were forcibly taken but fortunately were later rescued from the vicinity of Gulshan-e-Iqbal in Karachi.

Sources indicate that the young girls had reportedly been abducted from the precincts neighboring the Soldier Board police station. A stringent case had been registered under the abduction act at the Soldier Board police station, aiming to swiftly address the issue.

The FIR revealed chilling details of the abduction, citing that the three innocent girls, identified as Noor (12), Ayesha (14), and Maheen (13), were seized from Adam Square Soldier Market Number Two.

As the authorities continue their efforts to trace young Ayesha, concerns about the safety of children in public spaces have intensified.
