KARACHI, Nov 14: Two suspected kidnappers were arrested and a kidnapping victim was recovered during a raid carried out by the Anti-Violent Crime Cell with the assistance of the Citizens-Police Liaison Committee in Shah Faisal Colony on Wednesday, police said.

CPLC chief Ahmed Chinoy said 21-year-old Nabeel-ul-Hasan was kidnapped in Gulshan-i-Iqbal on Nov 5 when he was going to pick up his sister from school. The kidnappers also took away his car.

The following day, the family received a phone call from kidnappers demanding a ransom of Rs50 million, said the CPLC chief.
