LAHORE - The CIA police Lahore claimed to have arrested five members of a kidnapping gang and recovered Rs. 228,000 n cash, a motorcycle, two SIMs, a pistol and five bullets from them.
This was disclosed by SSP Investigation Hassan Mushtaq Sukhera during his maiden press conference at the Investigations Headquarters, Qila Gujjar Singh, on Tuesday.
