LAHORE: Pakistan authorities have launched a high-level effort to trace boxer Qudratullah, who failed to return home with the national contingent at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, well-informed sources told Dawn on Wednesday.
The disappearance of the 20-year-old boxer, who competed in the men’s 60kg category, is being treated as a high-profile case, the sources said.
“Until around 2:00am in Glasgow, when the contingent was due to leave for Pakistan the following morning, every member of the contingent was present at one place,” a member of the Pakistan contingent told Dawn on condition of anonymity.
“Later in the night, as the Games organisers had provided separate accommodation for each athlete, everyone returned to their respective rooms. Qudratullah also went to his room,” the source added.
