Last Saturday, Dua and her friend Haris Fatah were strolling along the main road in DHA Bukhari Commercial area when they were intercepted by armed men. The men shot at Haris when he put up resistance and kidnapped Dua. Haris was rushed to the hospital while the search for the girl started.

The DIG had said on Thursday that the case appeared to be a case of kidnapping for ransom. However, Dua's family had dismissed news of getting a call for ransom.
