A man in Karachi became the victim of an unusual crime when an online iPhone sale through OLX allegedly led to abduction and robbery.

As per the details, suspects in a car contacted Saad Younus in Azizabad Block 8 under the pretext of purchasing his phone.

According to the victim’s family, the men requested him to sit in their car so they could check the device.

Saad was then allegedly kidnapped. He was also severely injured when the suspects, posing as anti-corruption officers, attacked him with a hammer during captivity.

The victim later managed to save himself by jumping out of the moving car near Ghareebabad railway crossing. The suspects, however, fled with the iPhone.

He was initially taken to a private hospital before being shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.

Despite the severity of the case, Azizabad police only issued a medical letter and attempted to close the matter without registering a case, reports said.

Officials now say an investigation is underway, but negligence has delayed the filing of an FIR.

A tragic incident took place in Duki’s Jalalabad neighbourhood where armed robbers shot a man dead in front of his two children before fleeing with his motorcycle, media reports said.

Mirza died on the spot while his children witnessed the horrifying scene. Rescue workers shifted the body to Duki Hospital for medico-legal formalities.

Further investigation is underway.

Police in Karachi have registered a manslaughter case against three employees of a private school after a staff member died by suicide, officials said on Wednesday.

On September 1, 25-year-old Usman Ali jumped from the eighth floor of the building housing the school’s campus near Saddar. His brother, Faizan Ali Ansari, lodged a complaint at the Brigade police station, naming three school employees Irfan, Hasan and Talha as responsible for his death.

According to Faizan, Usman had mentioned the three men in a Facebook post, accusing them of subjecting him to severe “mental torture.” He said the harassment pushed his brother to take his own life.

Faizan, a resident of North Karachi, said Usman left home for duty at around 8:15am on September 1. Less than an hour later, he received a call informing him that Usman’s health had deteriorated and that he was being taken to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC).

When Faizan reached the hospital, he found school staff already present and was told that Usman had fallen from the eighth floor of the campus building and died.

Police registered the case under Sections 322 (manslaughter) and 34 (common intention) of the Pakistan Penal Code.

A young woman was killed and her mother injured when her fiance attacked them with an axe during a domestic dispute in the Hangoora Goth area off the Super Highway, media reports said on Tuesday.

Officials identified the suspect as Gohar Ali. They said he struck his 24-year-old fiancee Rasheeda with an axe, fatally injuring her. Her mother Rani also sustained serious wounds in the assault.

A disturbing case has emerged from the Pirwadhai area of Rawalpindi, where the principal of a private academy has been accused of repeatedly raping a matric student under the pretense of marriage and exam preparation, ultimately leading to two pregnancies and a forced abortion.

According to the FIR registered by Rawalpindi police, Ziaur Rehman, principal of Asad Academy in Khayaban-e-Sir Syed, allegedly exploited his position by calling the student to the academy on the pretext of helping her prepare for exams. 

The student stated that on May 21, 2025, she was summoned by the suspect  but upon arrival found the academy empty. She said, “All the students had left, and the principal was alone. He locked the doors and raped me. He threatened me not to tell anyone.”

The student revealed that Rehman had initially proposed marriage, saying, “I have no children, marry me.” She refused and asked him to speak to her parents if he was serious. However, she claimed he began manipulating her emotionally and academically, offering better grades and tuition support while gradually getting closer.

After the first assault, the student became pregnant. She said, “He took me to a private clinic in Saddar for a check-up and gave me medicine. I didn’t know what it was, but after using it, I fell ill. Later I found out it was for abortion.” She added, “When he learned about the miscarriage, he said, ‘Now you are not fit to marry anyone else. I will marry you, but I need time.’”

The FIR further alleges that in July, Rehman raped her again inside the academy office and continued to blackmail and assault her over time, resulting in a second pregnancy. The student said, “When I insisted on marriage, he began mentally and physically torturing me. I was under immense stress due to my family’s honor, and the pregnancy ended on its own.”

In her statement, the student said, “Ziaur Rehman used the sacred profession of teaching to deceive me with false promises of marriage, raped me, got me pregnant, and then forced an abortion. He destroyed my life. I request justice and strict action against him.”

Rawalpindi police confirmed that a case has been registered under charges of rape and forced abortion. Further investigation is underway.
