Sindh Rangers and the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) recovered the body of a kidnapped woman and arrested two suspects involved in abduction and murder during an intelligence-based operation in Surjani Town’s Gulshan-e-Noor area, officials said on Sunday.

According to a Sindh Rangers spokesperson, authorities received a tip-off that a group of kidnappers had abducted a woman named Sehar Fatima from Gulberg Town and were demanding a ransom of Rs100 million.

Acting on the intelligence, Sindh Rangers and AVCC carried out a joint operation and arrested two suspects, identified as Waseem Raza and Nix, from Gulshan-e-Noor, Surjani Town.

Victim Tortured and Murdered Over Ransom
During initial interrogation, the suspects confessed to kidnapping Sehar Fatima on February 15 and holding her hostage in a rented house in Hassan Brohi Goth, Surjani Town. The kidnappers bound her hands and feet and recorded a video of her captivity, which they sent to her father while demanding the ransom.

When the ransom was not paid, the suspects brutally murdered her, officials revealed. Following their confession, law enforcement raided the house in Hassan Brohi Goth and recovered the victim’s body.

Legal Proceedings and Investigation Underway
The victim’s body was shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for post-mortem. A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered at Yousuf Plaza Police Station in District Central, and the arrested suspects have been handed over to the AVCC for further legal proceedings.

Authorities have vowed to conduct a thorough investigation into the case to ensure justice is served.
