The Pakistan Boxing Federation (PBF) on Wednesday confirmed the disappearance of two national boxers in Birmingham, just a few days after the conclusion of the Commonwealth Games.

Secretary PBF Nasir Tang told to Dawn.com that the two pugilists — Suleman Baloch and Nazeerullah — disappeared a couple of hours before the team’s departure for Islamabad.

The travel documents of both the boxers are with the PBF officials, he added.

Tang said the British government and the police had been informed about the disappearance of boxers.

“We have seized the documents of the duo under the standard operating procedure,” he said.

The PBF secretary said the boxers would be traced soon.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) has formed a four-member committee to investigate the matter.

They are not coming back. They will moat probably be seeking asylum (being Baloch and persecuted) unfortunately.
But it is an opportunity to a better economic situation.

They saw a sinking ship and acted accordingly.

Bajra doctrine bearing fruit.

Even if they want asylum or don't want to return back, this is a wrong move. UK poice will find them and hand over to Pakistan embassy. If they want to settle down there, then go through the legal process which is safe.

Not missing but ran off.

 

[Areesh]

Nawaz Sharif and the family has taught everyone to run off to London

They join PMLN and are right now in Avenfield apartment ... ... anyway, let them go, right now the economic condition is tough in Pakistan.

Dhalla Bajwa has destroyed Pakistan, what do we expect these guys to do? There
are many more who want to leave Pakistan and I don't blame them.

They are Baloch. Will play that card. But mostly due to economic condition.

 

[White privilege]

Probably some asylum seeking attempt, like that Afghan Jalebi aka Ambassador's daughter. People would mop floors if they have to abroad, given the economic condition here.

They're going to be working in the nearest kebab shop
