The vice chancellor and pro-vice chancellor of Pakistan's University of Gwadar, who had left the port city for Quetta, have gone missing, media reports said.

Vice Chancellor Dr Abdul Razzaq Sabir and Pro-Vice Chancellor Syed Manzoor Ahmed have been missing for the past 24 hours, officials told Dawn News.

Babar Yousafzai, an aide at the Balochistan Home Department, told the newspaper that Dr Sabir and Mr Ahmed had left for Quetta along with a driver and another varsity employee on Wednesday morning.

“But they have not reached Quetta so far,” he said.

The official further said the travellers’ mobile phones had been switched off after they reached Mastung.

“All efforts are under way to trace the vice chancellor, pro-vice chancellor and two others traveling them,” Yousafzai said.

Police officials in Mastung told Dawn that the possibility of kidnapping could not be ruled out.
