DERA GHAZI KHAN: Rajanpur police recovered three kidnapped youths who were honeytrapped by the Katcha gangs.

Nasir, Zeeshan and Abdul Sattar, three members of the Birmani clan, were abducted from Jampur a month ago through a honey trap and they were taken to the Katcha area.

According to reports, the youths were lured by the promise of employment and were subsequently kidnapped by criminals operating from the Katcha area. The kidnap case was registered with the Choti Zareen Police Station.

District Police Officer (DPO) Rajanpur Muhammad Farooq Amjad Butter had assigned the recovery task to SHO Imran Jameel Qureshi.

SHO Qureshi, along with his team, conducted a raid in the Katcha area and successfully recovered all three abductees without paying any ransom.
