SIALKOT: Badiana police recovered on Thursday a Lahore-based minor child and arrested two kidnappers.

Police said an issueless couple, Fiaz and Yasmeen, had been working as servants at the house of trader Muhammad Amjad in Ferozwala near Lahore for the last one month.

The couple kidnapped their master’s four-year-old son Naqeeb Amjad about a week back and took him to Sudhaarwali village in Badiana.

The police traced the kidnappers through their mobile phone number and recovered the child besides arresting the couple. The child was handed over to his parents.

Police sent the accused couple to jail after registering a case against them.
