Sindh Police Recover Nine Drummers Kidnapped for Ransom by Bandits in Ghotki

On Sunday, the Sindh Police conducted an operation in the Katcha area of Ghotki in interior Sindh, resulting in the recovery of nine drum beaters who were kidnapped by a gang of dacoits for ransom. The recovered victims were members of a drum players group hailing from Chiniot, a district in central Punjab.

The kidnappers had called the group to perform at a wedding function in Ghotki 23 days ago, where they were abducted and held for a heavy ransom. Fortunately, the police were able to rescue the hostages from Andal Sundrani in the Katcha area after a gunfight with the kidnappers, who then fled the scene.

The riverine forests in Sindh and the southern belt of Punjab have long been a haven for bandit gangs involved in kidnappings for ransom and other criminal activities on both banks of the Indus River. These areas are difficult to access, making them a “”no-go area”” for police and other law enforcement agencies.

It is essential to improve the security situation in these regions, as the prevalence of kidnappings for ransom creates a sense of insecurity among the public and undermines the rule of law. The Sindh Police’s recent success in recovering the kidnapped victims is a positive step towards ensuring public safety and cracking down on organized crime.
