13-year-old Pooja Bheel, a resident of Rahim Yar Khan went missing from her home on July 9 around 12 PM in the morning. When her family started searching for her, a local police station told them that the child was at the Dar-ul-Aman shelter home.
By this time the Eid holidays had come around, leading to the courts closing for the holidays, so the family had to wait till after the holidays had passed to get a court order saying they had permission to go visit their child.
When the court finally reopened on Wednesday, the family obtained the court order and reached Dar-ul-Aman around 3 PM. However, they found that neither the Superintendent, nor the Vice Superintendent was on the premises of the shelter home, which was at that moment being looked after by a peon.
The family was denied entry into the shelter home, and waited outside for two hours to see if they could show the Superintendent the court orders, however she never showed up, and the peons were not accepting the court documents.
