In a statement, a spokesperson for the Punjab Police informed that Rajanpur and Rahim Yar Khan Police conducted the two successful IBOs, safely recovering two abducted citizens and a 3-year-old child who were kidnapped through a honey trap.
The spokesperson said that Rajanpur Police carried out an intelligence-based operation against Katcha dacoits and safely recovered two abducted citizens—identified as Barkat Ali and Sajid Hussain. “Both the citizens had been kidnapped a few days ago through a honey trap from the jurisdiction of Police Station Shahwali,” he added.
The case of the abduction incident was registered at Rajanpur’s Shahwali Police Station against Katcha criminals. The Shahwali Police conducted a raid on the hideouts of the abductors in the Katcha area.
