Pakistan boxer Qudratullah ‘goes missing’ in Glasgow after CWG campaign
Pakistani boxer Qudratullah reportedly went missing in Glasgow hours before the national team’s departure, with his passport and return ticket remaining with the team manager. Pakistan finished the Commonwealth Games with just one medal, a bronze for Fatima Zahra. Her historic achievement made her the first Pakistani female boxer to win a CWG medal, while Arshad Nadeem missed out.
Pakistani boxer Qudratullah reportedly went missing in Glasgow just hours before the country's Commonwealth Games team was scheduled to depart for home. According to Pakistani news outlet Geo News, sources within the Pakistan Boxing Federation stated that Qudratullah was last seen in his hotel room around 2am. Subsequent checks revealed that he was no longer present in the room.
The Pakistan team was scheduled to assemble in the hotel lobby at 9am before embarking on their journey back to Pakistan; however, officials were unable to locate Qudratullah upon inspecting his room. His passport and return ticket were reportedly still held by the team manager. This incident is not an isolated case; another promising Pakistani boxer, Zohaib, was also reported missing during an international tour of Italy last year.
Pakistan's 21-man contingent concluded its participation in the 2026 Commonwealth Games with only one medal, marking the country's lowest medal tally since the 1998 Games. Fatima Zahra, the sole medalist, secured a bronze in the women's 60kg category, making history as the first Pakistani female boxer to achieve such a feat. She was subsequently chosen to carry the national flag during the closing ceremony.
Pakistan's top medal contender, Olympic javelin champion Arshad Nadeem, unfortunately failed to win a medal after serving as the country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony.
