KARACHI: Police sources suspect that Advocate Awais Ali Shah, kidnapped son of Sindh High Court’s chief justice, will be used as a ‘bargaining chip’ to ensure release of some captured militants.
“So far it is kidnapping, and my professional assessment is that it is not for ransom,” Sindh police chief Allah Dino Khawaja told Reuters.
Security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media, said they suspected the kidnappers would offer to free Shah in return for the release of captured militants. A special investigation team has been constituted to probe the abduction of Shah.
