Vindictive Behaviour: Abducted girl recovered
A seven-year-old girl, kidnapped by her sister-in-law’s father, was recovered by the police
BAHAWALPUR:
A seven-year-old girl, kidnapped by her sister-in-law’s father, was recovered by the police on Wednesday. The kidnapper was arrested. Police said Khanpur resident Nazir Ahmed’s daughter married Akbar without the consent of their families a few months ago. They said, Ahmed had asked his daughter several times to return home, but she did not. On Tuesday, they said, he kidnapped Akbar’s younger sister “to take revenge from his daughter and her husband” and shifted her to an undisclosed place. He was, however, arrested on Wednesday and the girl was recovered unharmed. She was handed over to her family. Ahmed’s daughter said that she was happy with Akbar and did not want to return to her parents’ house. She said what her father had done was shocking. He must be punished for it, she said.
