MUZAFFARGARH: Chowk Azam police have recovered a kidnapped child and arrested the captor.

Reports said Shazia Bibi, a resident of Chowk Azam, told the police that her son, Mohammed Nouman, a second-grade student, worked after school to support his family due to his father’s illness.

She stated that on March 3, Nouman returned home from school and later went to the city area for work but never came back.

A police team conducted multiple raids and recovered the child from the suspect a few days after the abduction.

The child was safely handed over to his mother.
