Armed tribesmen got released one of the two kidnapped persons after arresting six members of a gang of local kidnappers in Lachi on Sunday.
Fazal Kareem and Waqas belonging to Nasrat Khel were kidnapped on May 1. The tribesmen of a Lashkar from Bagato area of Hangu surrounded the house of the kidnappers and asked them to surrender and hand over the kidnapped persons to them.
On this, the kidnapers opened fire on the tribesmen that resulted in clash between the two groups. Exchange of firing continued for several hours, during which Kareem managed to escape from the custody of the kidnappers.
The alleged kidnappers - Khan Mohammad, Wali Moha-mmad, Luqman, Mohammad Khan, Jehanzeb and Gul Jamal – were arrested by the tribesmen. They also seized four hand grenades, two Kalashnikovs, two pistols, six chargers and hundreds of cartridges.
The armed tribesmen were still camping in the area and had given a deadline to the kidnappers to hand over the other kidnapped man by Monday evening. In case of non-compliance, they threatened to burn the houses and other properties of the kidnappers. —Correspondent
