A kidnapper named Gul Mohammad was also arrested in connection with his abduction in the area. Also seized during the operation were two Hilux vehicles, two pistols, four assault rifles, a telescope, a battery, a military bag, and several other items.
It is to be noted that the authorities of the Islamic Emirate across the country have already released a large number of hostages from the kidnappers and arrested those involved and handed them over to law enforcement.
