Rahim Yar Khan - In a significant breakthrough, police under the leadership of the District Police Officer (DPO) have successfully rescued all 13 labourers abducted three days ago near the well-known town of Bhong in Sadiqabad Tehsil. News of the rescue has brought immense relief and joy to the families of the victims.
According to details, three days earlier, on Tuesday morning, armed bandits from the Kacha area had kidnapped 13 workers from a mango orchard near Bhong, sparking widespread concern across the district. Sources report that, over the past two days, district police utilised modern technology to trace the location of the kidnappers and the hostages in the Kacha region. On Thursday afternoon, under the command of DPO Irfan Ali Samo, a large police contingent—equipped with armored vehicles, advanced weaponry, and drones—launched a targeted operation in the area.
During this meticulously planned operation, police safely recovered all 13 abducted workers: Rasheed Ahmed, Nadeem Ahmed, Waseem Ahmed, Saddam Hussain, Gul Hassan, Muhammad Bilal, Muhammad Hanif, Muhammad Nadeem, Muhammad Kashif, Abdul Majid, Muhammad Umair, Shah Mir, and Tanveer Ahmed. Reports confirm that all police officers and personnel involved in the mission remained unharmed throughout the operation. Speaking to “The Nation” after the successful rescue, DPO Irfan Ali Samo stated that he has advised orchard owners, contractors, and farmers in the Kacha region to avoid unnecessary movement at night and to ensure strict security arrangements if working or staying overnight in fields and orchards, in order to prevent such incidents in the future.
It has also been learnt that the provincial government is planning to launch another major operation in the Kacha region in mid-July, with the aim of establishing lasting peace throughout the area.
