The Naseem Nagar police registered a case under the Section 364-A of the Pakistan Penal Code. They traced the suspect with the help of CCTV footage and other information sources. Zainab was arrested along with her accomplices Zaheer Abbas Leghari, Zehra Leghari and Nader Ali Leghari.

The three abducted children were recovered from the Gulshan-e-Hadeed area of Karachi after the arrested woman identified the place where they had been kept.

Police said Zaheer was the mastermind of the kidnapper gang that had committed the crime. The three children were abducted in Hyderabad and transferred to Karachi on Thursday morning.

The suspects reportedly told the investigators that they abducted the children because of a dispute.
