Earlier KESC issued a press release stating that the 5-member team was on routine duty when it reached the residence of the DC South Jamal Mustafa Qazi, located in KMC Bunglows, Frere Town. The 5-member KESC team entered the premises to inspect the meter and that was the last that was heard from them, as since then they have been illegally and unlawfully held hostage by the guards present on the location.
Four out of the five team members; Tasnim Ahmed (Supervisor), Anwar Shah (Lineman), Iftikhar (Karkun) & Mohammad Rafiq (Driver) were sent to the Frere Police Station.
It is pertinent to mention here that DC South Jamal Mustafa Qazi is an owner of a petrol pump, and had not paid his 'load regularization charges', the statement said.
