THATTA, May 11: The Makli police on Sunday carried out raids to arrest Ibrahim alias Haji Solangi, a caretaker working at the shrine of Abdullah Shah Ashabi, for allegedly kidnapping two sisters, one of them a minor.

The girls — “L”, 17, and “A”, 9, — had been kidnapped from the shrine two days ago.

The mothers of the girls told journalists that they had been staying at the shrine for “spiritual treatment” of her mentally-retarded elder daughter for the past week.

She said that two nights ago, she had found both of the girls to be missing.

On Sunday both the girls appeared at the police station where the younger of the two told the police that they had been kidnapped by Ibrahim, who had confined them at an isolated place in Sujawal.

She said that Ibrahim had criminally assaulted her elder sister and they had later escaped and reached the police station.
