CHAGAI: Personnel of the Levies Force raided a house in the Chehattar area of Chagai district on Sunday and arrested a man who had allegedly confined his three children in a room without providing them food and water for three days, officials said.

The man, they said, had also been threatening to poison the children if the neighbours intervened. Ms Zehri said they found out about the news after it appeared on social media first.
