LARKANA, July 23: Police submitted interim challan in kidnapping of a student in the court of the 3rd judicial magistrate here on Monday.

The case involves the kidnapping of Sajid Kalhoro, a student of class nine. His uncle Imtiaz Abbasi had lodged an FIR with Civil Lines police station against six unidentified persons for allegedly kidnapping his nephew from a flour mill in Lahori Mohalla on June 25. The kidnapped boy was later handed over to another gang of criminals, sources said.

Since then the boy was with the gang that had reportedly been calling Mr Abbasi and demanding huge ransom, family members said.

During investigations, the police had included the names of Sadoro Mirbahar, Ghulam Mustafa Mirbahar (brothers) and Usman Chandio alias Raja in the FIR and showed them in the interim challan as absconders.

It had been learnt that SSP Larkana Javed Soonharo Jiskani has tasked the in-charge of Larkana CIA Abdul Qadir Chandio to recover the kidnapped boy, presently kept in a dacoits’ hideout on the outskirts of Shahdadkot, police sources said.

Earlier, during the investigations, police picked up three brothers of Sadoro and Ghulam Mustafa, their sister Yasmin, her two-year-old son Murtaza and another man, Imdad Chandio. However, they were kept in a private house in Lahori Mohalla.

After such reports appeared in the media, police freed Yasmin and her son but showed the arrest of his brothers and Imdad in the case. They were lodged in jail.—Correspondent
