Armed bandits in Sindh's Kandhkot district have abducted eight individuals from the Oghahi community, sparking a fresh wave of concern in the region. According to Express News, the abductions occurred within the jurisdiction of the Ghauspur police station.

Witnesses reported that the heavily armed bandits held the victims at gunpoint before taking them into the riverine areas. The notorious Sodho Nasirani gang has been identified as the perpetrators of the incident.

Reports indicate that the abductions were a retaliatory act following the killing of the gang leader Sodho Nasirani’s brother earlier in the day. The bandits later released a video of the abducted individuals, which quickly went viral on social media platforms.

Police sources revealed that the incident is rooted in a long-standing feud between the Oghahi community and the Sodho Nasirani gang. The ongoing enmity has frequently resulted in violence, with this latest escalation intensifying the conflict.

In response, a heavy contingent of police was deployed to the riverine areas to track down the culprits. A fierce exchange of gunfire between the bandits and law enforcement personnel was reported as efforts to recover the abducted individuals continue.

The incident underscores the persistent law and order challenges in the region, as authorities strive to bring the situation under control.
