Inhumane act: Abducted boy found dead in Larkana

SUKKUR: The body of a six-year-old boy, who had been missing for 20 days, was found on Saturday evening in a heap of garbage near Nai Gud village in Larkana. Law enforcers said that he had been kidnapped over a fight between his father and another villager. The victim, Shakeel, had gone missing 20 days ago from the village. His father Shahnawaz Bughio, who worked on land owned by former MNA Hizbulla Bughio, had lodged a complaint at the Hassan Wahan police station. The law enforcers, however, remained clueless about the boy’s whereabouts until Saturday evening, when someone informed them that a body was lying in a pile of trash near the village. When the police reached the spot, they were only able to identify the body through the clothes and shoes the boy was wearing. Shahnawaz lodged another FIR at the Hassan Wahan police station against Darya Khan and Ghulam Mustafa. Police later reportedly raided the Shero village and arrested the two men.
