LAHORE: An Iranian national has reportedly gone missing in the provincial capital under mysterious circumstances, it is learnt.

Sources in police told Dawn on Tuesday Mahmood Zohrabi disappeared on Monday (May 7). He arrived here along with his ‘friends’ some days back and stayed at a hotel in Gulberg.

Zohrabi had a dinner at a local restaurant on Monday evening and then went for shopping in Liberty Market before his disappearance.

Police have engaged the Safe Cities Authority to trace his mobility through CCTV cameras.

Sources said the local police were unaware of his arrival and stay in the provincial capital which was against standard operating procedure.

They said the police were trying to trace his friend who had left for Islamabad.
