The Sindh Rangers on Thursday claimed to have solved a missing person’s case after arresting three members of a Lyari-based gang. A spokesperson for the paramilitary force said that the missing persons’ list provided by the Sindh Home Department was reviewed in the case.

Upon investigation, the suspect revealed that he, along with his associates, kidnapped a student, Yaseen, from Imam Bux Market in Malir on May 30, 2016.
