Muzaffargarh: Khan Garh police have recovered a young man from Multan who staged his own kidnapping to extort money from his parents. The youth had been demanding Rs150,000 for his “release.”

According to the details, Rab Nawaz Mohana, a resident of Lang village in Khan Garh, filed a complaint stating that his son, Mukhtiar Hussain, had been missing for 20 days. Recently, the family received ransom calls demanding Rs150,000, with threats to kill Mukhtiar if the money was not paid.

Upon receiving the complaint, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Khan Garh, with assistance from IT Incharge Khalid Naseer, formed a police team. Using modern technology, the team—comprising Sub-Inspector Sajjad, Head Constable Fakhar Abbas, Constable Rustam Khakhi, and IT Incharge Khalid Naseer—traced and recovered Mukhtiar from Multan.

During interrogation, Mukhtiar confessed that he had not been kidnapped but had faked the incident to extract money from his parents to settle his debts.

The police handed him over to his family, who appreciated the team’s efforts in resolving the case.
