Islamabad police rescued four Chinese nationals allegedly kidnapped for ransom after tracing them to a dairy farm in the Bangial area.
The case began when police arrested a suspect linked to a case registered at Shalimar Police Station. During questioning by the capital police’s robbery and dacoity unit, he allegedly disclosed that he and his accomplices had abducted the Chinese nationals from F-10/4.
The suspect told investigators that the victims had been moved to the farm, where bargaining over their ransom was still under way. He also offered to take police to the location. A police team was formed and cordoned off the farm after reaching the area.
The suspect inside the farm then opened indiscriminate fire at the police team, causing panic in the surrounding area. The supplied report ends during the account of the police response.
