Unidentified people have kidnapped Usman, resident of Terri Shaggi, from Banda Daud Shah on June 21. The protesters threatened to expand their protest to other parts of the district if Mr Usman was not recovered within 24 hours. They alleged that the police had been patronising kidnappers in the district.
The KI leaders and workers gathered at Terri Chowk in the morning and blocked the Kohat-Bannu road for traffic for two hours. They raised slogans against the police for failing to control kidnapping incidents in the area.
Speaking on the occasion, KI president Maulana Mir Zaqeem, general secretary Fareed Azam and others said that the police had failed to put hand on the kidnappers and provide security to the people. JUI-F CRITICISED:
