A teenage girl who disappeared in Islamabad on Sunday night was "safely recovered" from the Swat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Tuesday, capital police said.
On Monday, sectors of Ramna echoed the mosques' announcements about a 13-year-old girl who disappeared while walking outside her home on G-8/1. Her family and friends also conducted a door-to-door search to find her.
But police said the girl had "gone with her friends" and even left a note at home before leaving.
"The case was not [of] forced kidnapping, "Islamabad police said in a tweet.
The police are currently in the process of bringing the girl back to the capital. A police statement said the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Operations) Waqaruddin Syed will hold a press conference on the case at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Police Inspector General Mohammad Amir Zulfikar Khan praised the DIG and his team for the successful recovery of the teenager.
Missing
The girl's brother and uncle had told her Dawn who disappeared Sunday night after leaving the house to go for a walk at 7:30 p.m.
The girl's uncle said she used her father's mobile phone and had a Facebook account. On Sunday night, he said, the family noticed that someone was using another device to sign in to their Facebook account and deleted all their messages.
He said they also tried to delete the account, but were unsuccessful. He said some people had been arrested by the police, including students from the school where he is enrolled in seventh grade.
A kidnapping case was registered against unidentified persons after the family filed an application with the Karachi Company police.
Initially dissatisfied by the pace of the police investigation, the family had protested in front of the National Press Club.
