After Commonwealth Games
\nFederation sources say Qudratullah disappeared hours before team\u2019s departure
\n LAHORE
\nPakistani boxer Qudratullah, who represented the country at the Commonwealth Games 2026, has reportedly gone missing around six hours before the national contingent was due to depart for home. Sources in the Pakistan Boxing Federation confirmed the disappearance to Geo News, saying the athlete was last seen in his hotel room at around 2am.
\nThe team was scheduled to assemble in the hotel lobby at 9am before departing for Pakistan. However, when officials checked Qudratullah\u2019s room, he was no longer there, the sources said.
\nThe boxer\u2019s passport and return ticket remain in the custody of the team manager, they said. Last year, another promising boxer, Zohaib, went missing during an international tour of Italy. On an earlier occasion, another member of the national boxing squad had also reportedly disappeared while abroad.
\nPakistan\u2019s 21-member contingent concluded its 2026 Commonwealth Games campaign with just one medal after boxer Fatima Zahra secured the country\u2019s only podium finish by claiming bronze in the women\u2019s 60kg event \u2014 one of the nation\u2019s poorest performances in the tournament\u2019s history. The result represents Pakistan\u2019s lowest medal tally since the 1998 Commonwealth Games, when the country won one silver medal.
\nThe national contingent had previously failed to win any medal at the 1990 edition, making Glasgow 2026 Pakistan\u2019s worst Commonwealth Games campaign in the past 36 years. Fatima\u2019s achievement was a historic one as she became the first Pakistani female boxer to win a Commonwealth Games medal. In recognition of her accomplishment, she was also selected to carry Pakistan\u2019s flag during the closing ceremony.
\nPakistan\u2019s biggest medal hopes rested on Olympic javelin champion Arshad Nadeem, who had served as the country\u2019s flagbearer at the opening ceremony. However, he could not secure a medal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
