The Citizen-Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) chief Ahmed Chinoy on Tuesday addressed a press conference in Karachi and denied rumours circulating in media of a kidnapping-for-ransom victim and an amount of Rs 1.5 million being recovered from his house. "Reports circulating in media were based on rumours and we [CPLC] deny it," Chinoy said, adding that, "Laraib [alleged kidnapping-for-ransom victim] was not recovered from my house and neither was Rs 1.5 million."
The CPLC chief said the Rangers had recovered Laraib from North Karachi. He said the contingent had arrived at his house early in the morning to discuss the case's findings with the CPLC. Chinoy said that he had visited the Rangers office on Tuesday and discussed the matter. "There was not only information sharing, but we also discussed better co-ordination for future cases," he said.
"(The) DG Rangers praised CPLC's role in countering crime and criminals," he added. Chinoy said the CPLC was a supportive body and its job was to support law-enforcement agencies. "I hope after our official statement, all rumours will settle down," he said.
