The boy, Samrat Kumar, had gone missing from a locality, Mirzapur, in the Kandhkot-Kashmore district eight days ago. When police failed to locate the boy, the Hindu community along with the affected family, held demonstrations in the area over the next five days, reports Dawn News.
His family told the police that dacoits riding a motorcycle had kidnapped the boy for ransom and took him away into the gangs-infested riverine area, the Pakistani newspaper reported.
The Hindu Punchayat on Friday set up a protest camp at Ghanta Ghar Chowk in Kandhkot to press the police and the officials to find out the missing toddler.
Meanwhile, Punchayat leaders condemned the area police for their failure in checking gangsters’ activities in upper Sindh where, they noted, criminals were kidnapping men, women and children at their whim and killing their hostages, reports Dawn News.
