Lahore police successfully rescued three young girls who were abducted from Iqbal Town and apprehended the culprit, who turned out to be a repeat offender. During a press conference on Tuesday, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Model Town, Rizwana Malik, revealed that the Kot Lakhpat police arrested the accused, identified as Mohsin, who not only kidnapped the girls but also intended to sell them. The girls, Mehek (17), Aisha (16), and Nasha (12), were reported missing from Iqbal Town. Acting swiftly upon receiving the report, the authorities formed a special team to ensure their safe recovery and apprehend the abductor. Utilizing modern technology, the team traced Mohsin to a house located near Wahdat Road's map stop.

The girls were found confined within the house, where Mohsin had forced them against their will. Further investigation revealed that Mohsin, a resident of Bhikhewal Mor slum, lured the girls from Raza Block of Iqbal Town with the promise of money. He reportedly confessed to targeting underprivileged girls, kidnapping them, and selling them in remote areas. The ASP disclosed Mohsin's extensive criminal background, highlighting his involvement in over 49 cases, including robbery, theft, and kidnapping. This successful operation by the Lahore police not only brought relief to the families of the abducted girls but also served as a testament to their commitment to combating crime and ensuring the safety of the community.
