Police in Taxila have registered a highly unusual First Information Report (FIR) in a child abduction case, naming jinns as the alleged kidnappers, triggering confusion and criticism.
The case has drawn attention for its bizarre nature, with observers questioning how supernatural entities could be accused in a criminal investigation. Legal experts and citizens have raised concerns over the implications for policing standards and the credibility of legal procedures.
“Even if the child is recovered, how will the accused be produced before court?” legal expert Raja Tahir questioned.
Police later clarified that the complaint stemmed from the child’s father’s strong belief in supernatural explanations. Officials said his superstitious views shaped the narrative of the report, giving it the tone of a paranormal account.
They stressed that the FIR was registered to formally document the complaint rather than endorse the claim of jinn involvement. According to the police, the unusual wording reflected the complainant’s beliefs rather than an official investigative conclusion.
