RAWALPINDI, Jan 25: Two children were abducted by a gang of three masked men who forced their entry into a house here on Tuesday night, police said.

The incident took place when three masked men entered forcibly into the house of Mohammad Asim in Hukam Dad Mohallah and held the inmates at gunpoint. The masked men first abducted Wahaj and then took his tenant's son Hussain Shah with them.

When the police was contacted, they said it was not a house robbery case as nothing was taken away by the culprits except the children.
