It is pertinent to note here that earlier this month, a minor girl was allegedly kidnapped after being snatched from her mother outside an apartment building near Napier police station on Wednesday.

The minor’s mother told police that a veiled woman first greeted her then almost immediately snatched her daughter from her hand and ran away. She added that she cried for help but the woman managed to escape with her daughter.

On September 12, police’s Anti-Violent Crime Cell also arrested a gang of kidnappers in Karachi.
