SUKKUR: Jacobabad police rescued on Tuesday a woman and her three daughters who were kidnapped in 2012 from Hyderabad.

The police on a tip-off raided the house of Qadir Bux Chachar in Jumo Khoso village, situated near Thull, and recovered Shabana and her three daughters, 12-year-old Dilshad, 10-year-old Noor Bano and six-year-old Mariam, said Bahoo Khoso police station SHO Bashir Magsi.
