NAUDERO:
Three kidnapped students of Agani village near Naudero, Majif Kehar, Azhar Kehar and Suhail Bhutto, who went missing nearly a month ago, have been rescued from Madeji forests on Sunday night. The Larkana police had an encounter with the captors during which a notorious bandit, Nizam Jeho, who is the cousin of another notorious bandit, Suleman Jeho, was arrested. Larkana SSP Jawaid Jiskani told the media that the gang demanded Rs8 million in ransom from the relatives of the kidnapped students but they cut down their demand to only Rs50,000 a few days ago. The residents rejected, the police claims, however, and said the students were released by dacoits after the payment.
