Four govt employees abducted from DI Khan

Four government employees, including three brothers and their nephew, were kidnapped at gunpoint from the Kulachi tehsil of DI Khan district in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Wednesday.

Local residents told The Express Tribune that in Kulachi, a school teacher named Ameer Khan suddenly passed away. After his burial, his three sons, identified as Muhammad Asif, Khalid Khan, and Fahad Nawaz, were present at the mosque where family and friends gathered for condolence.

Suddenly, eight to 10 armed men reached the scene on motorbikes, entered the mosque, and kidnapped the three brothers and their naib-tehsildar nephew after thoroughly checking all men present there.

Upon receiving the report, the police reached the spot and started an investigation. Locals said that the kidnapped brothers worked for the Cantonment Board and the National Commission for Human Development (NCHD). The incident caused widespread panic among local residents.

It is worth recalling that commercial banks have closed down their branches in Daraban tehsil of the troubled DI Khan district.
