Missing: Two boys disappear from madrassa

NAUDERO: Two cousins have disappeared from the madrassa where they were students in Bagi village near Mohenjo Daro. Six-year-old Ghaffar, son of Sohbat Ali Shaikh, and five-year-old Babr, son of Bakht Ali Shaikh, both residents of Naudero, went to the madrassa six months ago. Their fathers told the media on Monday that they had been informed by Abdul Hadi, the leader of the madrassa, that their sons had been missing for a day and had not been found despite hectic search efforts. They said that Hadi further told them that a religious gathering had been held at the madrassa, during which the boys could have left the premises with someone. They added that they had informed the Naudero police about the disappearance but they suspected that their sons might have been kidnapped.
