A man from Buner district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has sought Islamabad police's help to rescue his wife, an Indian national, who he says is being kept at the Indian High Commission against her will since Friday. According to the police, Uzma met Tahir Ali in Malaysia eight months ago, and the two contracted a court marriage on May 3 in Buner, two days after Uzma arrived in Pakistan via the Wagah border.
After the couple tied the knot, Uzma called her brother in New Delhi to communicate the news to him. Her brother asked her to visit India on her honeymoon and told her she could find a man named Adnan at the Indian embassy who would help them get the visas for the trip, Ali said in his complaint to Islamabad's Secretariat Police Station.
"At the Indian embassy window, she asked about Adnan. A while later, a man came out and took her inside through gate number six. I waited and waited, and then at 7pm I asked at the embassy gate if my wife Uzma was inside. They told me no one was inside," Ali said.
Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria on Sunday said that the Indian woman who 'went missing' from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad last week is 'stranded' inside the building.
He said the Foreign Office is in contact with the Indian High Commission, and the issue would be resolved soon. Station House Officer of the Secretariat Police Station said that he had contacted the diplomatic mission, but officials denied speaking to police, saying they would only speak to the Foreign Office about the issue.
