KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday ordered Sindh government, police and other law enforcement agencies to submit a report pertaining to recovery of more than 70 missing citizens till the October 9.

An SHC bench heard a set of pleas filed by families of missing persons and directed the police and others LEAs to produce the missing persons before the court after their recovery.

Citizens have been missing for many months, and it is the responsibility of the state to provide security to citizens, the bench remarked.

The bench remarked that inquiry should not be on paper but the missing citizens must be recovered.

The petitioners in their petitions stated that police and LEAs detained their beloved ones from different areas of the city, but, later, they went missing. The families appealed to the court for recovery of the missing persons.
