Three Villagers Kidnapped Near Ghotki, Robbers Demand Rs 1 Crore

Three villagers from Jumjo Singhar village near Ghotki — identified as Ghulam Shabir Singhar, Hafeez Singhar, and Zeeshan Singhar — were abducted by robbers under the guise of selling partridges. The incident has sparked anger in the local community, especially after police refused to take immediate action, citing a boundary dispute.

According to the families of the victims, the three young men had contacted a group advertising partridge sales near Ghancha Bridge in the Kachho Bandi area. Believing the offer to be genuine, they travelled to the location — but never returned.

Soon after, the kidnappers contacted the victims' families, demanding a ransom of Rs 1 crore. The desperate families, unable to meet the demand, held a protest outside the Ghotki A-Section Police Station under the leadership of Alam Singhar, Imran Ali Singhar, and Muhammad Hasil Singhar.

Speaking to the media, the protesters expressed their frustration and helplessness. “We are poor people. Paying such a huge ransom is impossible. We just want our loved ones back safely,” said one of the family members. Protesters warned that if no action is taken, they would block the national highway after two days.

Meanwhile, the police initially refrained from acting, claiming the location of the incident falls in a jurisdictional grey area. However, after mounting pressure, the SHO of Ghotki A-Section Police Station assured the protestors that efforts were being made to trace the abducted youths through their mobile phone data, and a recovery operation was underway.

This incident once again highlights the deteriorating law and order situation in rural Sindh, where banditry and organized crime continue to thrive, and jurisdictional issues hinder timely police response.
