HYDERABAD: Kidnapped boy freed

Published April 11, 2008

HYDERABAD, April 10: A four-year-old boy, Ahmed Raza, who was kidnapped from outside his school here on Tuesday, was let off by his kidnappers in Jamshoro’s Barrage Colony on Wednesday night.

People of the area kept the boy in a house and informed his family through cell phone. Police had used cable TV for telecasting information regarding the boy’s kidnapping and his features with his family’s contact numbers.

When the boy’s father received the phone call, he informed the Latifabad police which went to Jamshoro and brought the boy back to his home.

The police believed that some close relatives are involved in the kidnapping who, realising close contacts of the family with the police, dropped the idea of asking for ransom.
