ISLAMABAD - The owner of notorious Inter-Risk Security Company, Syed Jafar Ali Zaidis whereabouts are not known anymore. He was on physical remand with the Kohsar police for the last two days but now he has disappeared.
Sources privy to the developments claimed that Zaidi had been admitted in the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for treatment early this morning (Friday). Dr. Waseem Khawaja, the spokesman of the PIMS was contacted several times but he gave vague answers saying that he was not clear about Zaidis admission in the hospital and was still checking his presence there.
This scribe himself visited PIMS but could not find out the whereabouts of Zaidi in the hospital. A close friend of Zaidi was also contacted but he replied that even he could not succeed in tracing him.
Police sources claimed that Zaidi was not present behind the bars of Kohsar Police Station but was out. However they did not make it clear the exact location of Zaidi.
Rana Akram, Station House Officer (SHO) of Kohsar Police Station was contacted time and again but was not available for the comments.
Zaidi was given under the custody of police on two-day physical remand on 30th of last month by the court of Judicial Magistrate, Fahim Shah. The US diplomats spoke in his defence in their talks with the press. Could they have had a hand in Zaidis disappearance from the police station?
