Abducted Pakistani journalist who was fighting the case of Indian citizen rescued

A Pakistani woman journalist, Zeenat Shahzadi, who was allegedly kidnapped while pursuing the case of an Indian engineer two years ago has been rescued, reports claimed on Saturday.

The 26-year-old reporter of Daily Nai Khaber and Metro News TV channel went missing on August 19, 2015, when she was allegedly kidnapped by some unidentified men while she was on her way to office.

Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances (CIED) President Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal said on Friday evening that Shahzadi had been rescued from an area on the Pakistan- Afghanistan border on Thursday night. He also added that tribals from Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa provinces had played a key role in her recovery.

Two years ago, Shahzadi had filed an application with the Supreme Court’s Human Rights Cell on behalf of Fauzia Ansari, the mother of Indian national Hamid Ansari, who had gone missing in Pakistan since November, 2012.
