DERA GHAZI KHAN: Goth Mazari police in Rajanpur rescued a kidnapped man during a major operation in Rujhan Mazari tehsil.

According to the police spokesperson, victim Faiz Muhammad, a tailor by profession, was a resident of Lahore who had been lured through honey trap under the pretext of Rs70,000 worth of job and kidnapped.

Acting on intelligence-based information, the police launched an operation against criminals and managed to recover the victim safely from the custody of dacoits linked to the riverine Kacha Kashmore area.
