Two abducted men in Burewala were recovered after a car carrying them fell into a canal during an attempted escape.

According to authorities, the suspects' car, which had a green license plate, plunged into the canal while they were fleeing after abducting the victims.

Rescue officials reached the site and recovered the two handcuffed individuals from the water.

Police confirmed that the men had been kidnapped from Multan and Bahawalnagar.

The two accused kidnappers managed to escape the vehicle and flee the area. A search operation to locate them is currently underway.

Authorities are also investigating the use of a green number plate on the car as part of the ongoing inquiry.

In a separate incident, Punjab Police arrested two suspects involved in a house robbery of Rs12 million. The robbery was allegedly orchestrated by Ali Raza, a former driver at the residence, with help from his accomplice, Rashid.

Johar Town police tracked down and apprehended the suspects using modern technology, recovering 40,000 Saudi Riyals, 25 tolas of gold, expensive watches, and a pistol.

Saddar Superintendent of Police (SP) Dr. Ghayur Ahmed Khan praised Station House Officer (SHO) Mohsin Shehzad and his team, reaffirming the police’s commitment to protecting the lives and property of citizens.

This is not the first time a former employee has been linked to such a crime. Last month, another ex-driver was arrested for robbing Rs10 million in cash and 80 tolas of gold from a house in Lahore while the family was away.

He was arrested in Okara and confessed to planning the robbery for four months.
