Journalist found two years after she went missing

Shahzadi was believed to have been abducted while working on the case of an Indian citizen

APakistani journalist who was allegedly kidnapped while pursuing the case of an Indian engineer has been rescued, officials said.

Zeenat Shahzadi, a 26-yearold reporter of Daily Nai Khaber and Metro News TV channel, went missing on August 19, 2015, when some unidentified men allegedly kidnapped her while she was en route to her office in an autorickshaw from her home in a populated locality of Lahore.

Shahzadi was believed to have ‘forcibly disappeared’ while working on the case of Indian citizen Hamid Ansari. Ansari went missing within the country in November 2012.

The Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances (CIED) President Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal said last evening that Shahzadi had been rescued from an area on the PakistanAfghanistan border on Thursday night.

Two years ago, Shahzadi had filed an application with the Supreme Court’s Human Rights Cell on behalf of Fauzia Ansari, the mother of Indian national Hamid Ansari who had gone missing in Pakistan since November 2012.
