KHAIRPUR: Two kidnap victims return home

KHAIRPUR, Dec 6: Two kidnapped men reached their homes on Thursday morning after three months of disappearance.

The DPO Khairpur told reporters on Thursday that both the villagers had been freed after police ‘pressurised’ the dacoits.

He said a notorious dacoit, Ameer Shah, was involved in the kidnapping.

Meanwhile, a man and a lady health worker were killed in two separate robbery incidents.
