    The Citizen-Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) chief Ahmed Chinoy on Tuesday addressed a press conference in Karachi and denied rumours circulating in media of a kidnapping-for-ransom victim and an amount of Rs1.5 million being recovered from his house.

    “Reports circulating in media were based on rumours and we [CPLC] deny it,” Chinoy said adding that, “Laraib [alleged kidnapping-for-ransom victim] was not recovered from my house and neither was Rs1.5 million.”

    The CPLC chief said the Rangers had recovered Laraib from North Karachi. He said the contingent had arrived at his house early in the morning to discuss the case’s findings with CPLC.

    Chinoy said that he had visited Rangers office today and discussed the matter. “There was not only information sharing, but we also discussed better coordination for future cases,” he said.

    “DG Rangers praised CPLC's role in countering crime and criminals,” he added. Chinoy said CPLC was a supportive body and its job was to support law enforcement agencies.

    “I hope after our official statement, all rumours will settle down,” he said. Chinoy’s statement’s at the press conference were a volte-face from his earlier comments to the media.

    Earlier in the day, in a series of often conflicting reports, a team of Rangers Special Task Force reportedly carried out a raid at Chinoy’s residence situated in Karachi's Defence area.
