Karachi

The Anti Violent Crime Cell (AVCC), along with the Citizens Police Liaison Committee, managed to recover an abducted boy on Wednesday after an exchange of fire with his kidnappers.

The police claimed to have recovered two Kalashnikovs, TT pistols and several bullets.

SP AVCC Niaz Khosa told The News that 14-year-old Haris was going to buy bread on October 24 in the Gulshan-e-Iqbal police area when armed men kidnapped him.

The kidnappers called Haris’ family and asked them for a hefty ransom of Rs1.5 million.

The boy’s relatives initially accepted the amount, but later approached the police and special teams were formed based on the information provided by them and deployed in District East.

CPLC officials said that calls were coming from the Sohrab Goth police limits and the police saw suspicious activity at a house situated in the Ayub Goth of the area.

Cops in civvies raided the house along with a team of the CPLC and the suspects inside the house opened fire the moment they saw the police. The law enforcers retaliated and managed to arrest two of the kidnappers, while a third one escaped. The police also arrested two women from the house.

During the initial interrogation, the accused disclosed that their names were Danish and Daniyal.
