QUETTA: Two women and a man pretending to be polio workers kidnapped a two months old boy from a house on New Afghan Road in Quetta on Wednesday.

“The kidnappers entered the home of Ubaidullah after introducing themselves as polio workers and asked the family to bring their children for vaccination,” a police official said.

The suspects took child outside for weighing and drove away in a rickshaw parked outside the house.
