| The police here on Tuesday detained as many as 15 suspects in connection with the kidnapping of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Balochistan chief. Police sources told the media that the police, along with other law enforcement agencies, raided some parts of the city and held 15 suspects following the kidnapping of John Peloski on Monday while he was on his way to office. His driver identified as Mohammad Hashim Raza was killed while resisting the kidnapping bid. "Raids are being conducted across the city and there are positive signs of finding a clue of the culprits", the sources said, adding that it had not been confirmed yet who had committed the crime as no one had claimed the responsibility. The suspects had been detained from Kuchlak, Kharotabad, Chandni Chowk, Ghousabad and others areas. Besides, the vehicles leaving the provincial capital were being strictly monitored and special police checkposts had been set up on entry and exit points of the city, the sources added. |
