A kidnapper allegedly took the life of a four-year-old child, Taseer Dogar, by giving him an excess doze of sleeping pills. The child’s body was later thrown in the KB Feeder canal in Kotri, Jamshoro district. The suspect, Qadir Bux, confessed to the crime after his arrest on Saturday, according to the Kotri police.
Bux, who is a labourer in Shadman factory in Kotri SITE, told police that he kidnapped the child last week from the labour colony in Kotri. “He demanded Rs1 million ransom from the family and warned of killing Taseer if they don’t give the money,” said SHO Fazal Qureshi, quoting the family.
Qureshi said that the suspect was identified by the children of the colony who were playing with Taseer when he was abducted. The police also arrested a man named Asghar who sold the drugs to the suspect.
The divers searched Taseer’s body in the canal on Saturday but they could not find it. An FIR of the incident has yet to be registered.
