SHIKARPUR: Police carried out a successful operation in the riverine (katcha) area of Kot Shahu, rescuing an 11-year-old girl abducted from Peshawar, while two dacoits were killed during the action.
According to a spokesperson for Sindh Police, the rescued girl, identified as Hooram Saeed Pathan, was recovered safely during the operation. The slain suspects included a key outlaw, Abdul Waheed alias Mulla, along with another accomplice.
