University of Karachi Professor Dr Muhammad Ismail, who was earlier reported missing, reached home safely on Wednesday. Dr Ismail, who teaches at the department of Islamic Studies (Usool-ud-Din), went missing on September 15, according to his family. The professor's wife informed today that Dr Ismail reached home at 2am, adding that he bears no torture marks and is in good health.
The professor's family earlier said that around two weeks ago, late at night, some unknown people broke into the house and forcefully took the professor with them. The university administration, however, had remained mum on the subject of the professor's disappearance for 15 days. The university administration, including VC Dr Ajmal Khan, refused to comment on the incident when inquired.
