ISLAMABAD: A retired army officer, who served with the country’s premier intelligence agency, has gone missing from the federal capital.

On the complaint of Mohammad Shamal Khan, the elder brother of the retired lieutenant colonel, the police registered a kidnapping case against unidentified people.

Mr Khan told the police that his brother, who retired from the army a year ago, came to courts in G-11 from Peshawar on September 11. Later, he was going to the house of a friend when he disappeared, the police quoted the complainant as saying.

His mobile phone was also found switched off. The missing man’s car was found from a parking lot in F-10.

Meanwhile, the Special Investigation Unit arrested a man for allegedly supplying narcotics to students and recovered 7.20 kilogrammes hashish from him, said the police.

During the preliminary interrogation, the suspect confessed to supplying drugs to students of different institutions, the police claimed.
