Whereas, the travelling documents of both the athletes are still with the officials. Notably, the 2022 Commonwealth Games have been concluded on Monday and the participating teams have started returning back to their home nations.
Tang further added that the Federation had informed the Pakistan High Commission in the UK and other relevant authorities about the missing of the two athletes. Following which, the Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) has formed a four-member committee to investigate into the matter.
Tang asserted, “The travel documents including their passports are still with federation officials who were there along with the boxing team to the games.”
It should be mentioned that this is not the first such incident where athletes from Pakistan have gone missing. Two months ago, a national-level swimmer Faizan Akbar went missing while competing in the FINA World Championship in Hungary. Akbar didn’t even come to take part in the championship. He went missing with his passport and other documents just hours following landing in Budapest. He could not be seen since June.
