In a somewhat similar kidnapping case last year, a minor girl named Faiza’s was kidnapped on September 12 by a veiled woman who snatched the minor from her hands outside her third-floor apartment within the precincts of Napier police station.
Police later brought an end to a sixteen day kidnapping drama staged by the family of an eight-month-old girl in Karachi’s Napier Road area by recovering the minor from her alleged guardian’s house.
