SWABI, July 21: A 9th class student, Naseemullah, who was picked up by unidentified kidnappers on Feb 9, reached home after 162 days on Sunday night.

After his return, he told his family that he was treated politely during the captivity.

He said he did not know the location where he was kept, as he was brought out blind-folded and freed near the Kaddi village at night.

The family said that they had not paid ransom for the boy’s release.—Correspondent
