Islamabad Police recovered a ten-year-old child from abductors and arrested three kidnappers on Tuesday during a raid in the city’s Swan Garden area, near Islamabad Highway.
The police also recovered one million Rupees ransom money from the culprits. The child was identified as Samiullah Khan, son of Ahsanullah Khan, resident of Korang Town, a locality in the suburbs of Islamabad. The father of the abductee approached Koral Police and said the abductors had demanded Rs seven million as ransom for the safe release of his son, according to a press statement.

They raided on the kidnappers’ hide-out and successfully recovered the child from their possession. The police team also recovered a pistol and a vehicle from them. The child was kidnapped from the locality two days before Eid.
The kidnappers had demanded Rs 7,000,000 from the father for the safe release his child, but later the matter was settled at one million rupees (Rs 1,000,000).
The kidnappers were paid one million rupees as the ransom money. However, the police not only recovered the child, but also recovered the ransom paid to the kidnappers.
