Police on Tuesday claimed to have apprehended an accused allegedly involved in kidnapping a female student of a medical varsity for ransom in Faisalabad.

According to police, a female medical student was abducted from Jaranwala Road in Faisalabad a day before and her captors initially demanded a ransom of Rs 20 million.

However, she was released after her family paid a ransom of Rs 6 million.

The police claimed to arrest one of the alleged captors and had shifted him to an undisclosed location for further interrogation into the matter.

In another kidnapping incident involving a person from the medical profession in the city, a doctor kidnapped by unidentified persons on 07 April 2019 from Faisalabad’s Gulistan Colony was recovered in a dramatic manner the next day.

According to details, the doctor was kidnapped outside a local bakery by the culprits. Abductors of Dr Hassan had allegedly demanded Rs5 million as ransom from his brother to release him, police said.

Later, a relative of the kidnapped doctor started shouting and resisted against one of the abductors when he came to receive ransom money near an ATM Machine.

The other abductors managed to flee along with Dr Hassan after watching the situation.

A police team, which was present on the spot, arrested one of the accused. The remaining abductors were also arrested later from Lahore Road while Dr Hassan returned safely to his family.

PTI working on development as it considers Karachi its own unlike PPP's Sindh govt: Asad

Image
The PTI-led federal government is working on development projects in Pakistan's southern port city as it considers the metropolis "its own", Planning and Development Minister Asad Umar said Sunday, claiming that its counterpart under the PPP in Sindh did not have the same views. Speaking at the inauguration of the PTI's regional office in Shah Faisal Colony, Asad Umar said the ruling party "considers Karachi as [its] own and [the PPP] does not; therefore, the PTI is working on various development projects in the city. Umar was accompanied by members of the Sindh Assembly, including PTI lawmakers Firdous Shamim Naqvi, Jamal Ahmed, and Adeel Ahmed.

Joint Opposition to move no-confidence motion against NA Speaker Asad Qaiser

Image
The Opposition has decided to jointly move a no-confidence motion against National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, sources said Wednesday, after two days of ruckus in the Lower House. The development came during a meeting of Opposition party leaders in Islamabad, where they decided to form a committee that would draft a plan of action to move the no-confidence motion. Yesterday's proceedings in the NA marked the "darkest day for democracy in Pakistan's history," the Opposition leaders observed, according to the sources. "The Speaker has failed to fulfil his constitutional, legal, democratic, and parliamentary responsibilities [...] he is the protector of every parliament member, but [he has failed in his duties] and is not qualified to hold office anymore," they said. The leaders demanded that a parliamentary committee be established with equal representation — from treasury and Opposition benches — to probe the ruckus that had transpired in parliament. ...

No one can snatch away jobs granted by parliament: Bilawal

Image
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday said that "no one can snatch away jobs given by the parliament", vowing to appeal a Supreme Court verdict that declared a PPP-era law unconstitutional and illegal. Under the PPP-era Sacked Employees (Reinstatement) Ordinance Act (SERA) 2010 law, a number of people had been employed or given promotions who had been forcibly sacked from various institutions and departments by successive governments during 1996 and 2007. The SC, however, found that the SERA extended undue advantage to a certain class of citizens, thereby violating fundamental rights under Articles 4, 9 and 25 and being void under Article 8 of the Constitution. Earlier this month, PPP had appealed to the Supreme Court to review its verdict that declared SERA 2010 illegal and unconstitutional. In his address today to a worker's convention in the city, Bilawal said that PPP will provide relief to all those people from whom jobs have been snatched. Speaking of the three-ye...

What Do You Want to Know About Cancer?

Image
Cancer is an umbrella term for a large group of diseases caused when abnormal cells divide rapidly, and spread to other tissue and organs. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Cancer Growth and Metastasis In a healthy body, the trillions of cells it’s made of grow and divide, as the body needs them to function daily. Healthy cells have a specific life cycle, reproducing and dying off in a way that is determined by the type of cell. New cells take the place of old or damaged cells as they die. Cancer disrupts this process and leads to abnormal growth in cells. It’s caused by changes or mutations in DNA. DNA exists in the individual genes of every cell. It has instructions that tell the cell what functions to perform and how to grow and divide. Mutations occur frequently in DNA, but usually cells correct these mistakes. When a mistake is not corrected, a cell can become cancerous. Mutations can cause cells that should be replaced to survive instead of die, an...
