Kidnapped: 4 tribesmen abducted for ransom

DERA GHAZI KHAN: Unidentified men kidnapped four persons belonging to Qaisrani tribe near Rakhni, a border town of Balochistan, on Sunday morning while they were on their way to Quetta. The incident took place on the highway. As per reports, the kidnappers took them to a hilly area while the family members moved to lodge a case for investigation in Rakhni. The kidnapped people are Yasir Dilshadani Qaisrani, Shakoor Qaisrani, Abdul Ghafoor Qaisrani and his son. They were intercepted by the armed men just after they crossed Rakhni. Meanwhile, three students of Bahauddin Zakaria University, who were fooled into appearing for a fake job interview in Rakhni around nine months ago and were kidnapped, were finally released after their families paid a heavy ransom.
