Wife of retired police officer arrested for child trafficking in Peshawar

As more confessions come in from the captured child trafficking gang in Peshawar, the noose around the culprits tightens further. In a shocking new series of confessions, the gang revealed that the wife of a retired DSP and of a serving SHO are also involved in this heinous crime.

Wife of retired DSP Anwar Pari, was arrested for her involvement in the child kidnapping and trafficking case on Wednesday from their residence in Gulbahar. The retired officer tried his best to use his contacts and free his wife but this time around, the police are serious in bringing the accused to justice.

A police officer who is a part of the investigating team told reporters that the wife of a serving SHO has also been named as an accomplice of the gang but she has not been arrested so far.

“The husband of Anwar Pari was a retired DPS but what is more worrisome is the fact that the wife of a serving SHO is also involved in child abduction,” he said, adding, this means police officials were engaged in the entire process in one way or the other.

So far nine members of the gang involved in child abduction and trafficking in Peshawar have been identified. The gang members used to pose as doctors and nurses at different hospitals and maternity homes in Peshawar and kidnap newborn babies. In place of the newborn babies, they would deliver parents with dead babies saying that they could not be saved.

Cantt SP Kashif Zulfiqar also confirmed that the wife of a retired DSP was involved in this case.

“He is a retired police officer and he tried his best to contact us and other officials to turn the outcome in his favour, however, his wife was nevertheless shifted behind bars.” Zulfiqar added he had no information about the involvement of the wife of a serving inspector.

“We are investigating the matter and all those found involved in the crime or appear to have any contact with the child kidnapping gang will be arrested,” he said.
