Thought it was a bit weird the dad leaving Pakistan just like that in the middle of the investigation:

Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
^ been few days now since he left
this story was fishy to begin with. Jail the father!
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
Just one more way that Pakistanis settled in US/UK are bringing good impression and good news about Pakistan. As if Islamism and terror wasn't enough. And now this.
Wah Wah.
Yes, better to pretend this never happened cos reputation is more important than truth apparently..

Actually no!
It should be discussed to the fullest extent. Just to show that Pakistanis settled in US/UK gotta be careful. They cannot turn their family feud into an international incident.
However it is no time to bicker.
The little boy is still missing. Hope and pray the he is safe. And he gets back to his home and in the arms of his mother soon. Ameen.
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
The boy has been recovered by Punjab Police without the payment of ransom confirms the british embassy.
Shame that the entire police of european union who couldnt recover the british kid Madeleine McCann kidnapped in portugal with all its fancy resources.you better send them to Pakistan for training.
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
Nasir Madeleine was a different case … in Sahil’s case , a phone call was recieved at the grandparents house telling them where the child was 
The news is still not confirmed if the father had anything to do with it , coz its all too suspicious, law minister says ransom was paid in that is £100K… !
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
whatever atleast he is recovered alive.khuch to credit dain police ko khuda kay liay
puri europi union ki police mil kay bhi madeline kay whereabouts ka pata nahi laga saki.
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
its good that this ended on a positive note. wish the police performed equally well when non-UK based children are kidnapped.
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
how can you compare the madeline mccain case to this case?
I have a strong suspicion that the father was involved in this. This whole case is so dodgy.
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
My idea
Father arranged ransom and paid. The only way to try to get child back,
Otherwise what our police do, Who can know better than me.

JHELUM: When six-year-old Mahnoor Fatima disappeared, her mother’s world collapsed. But she was too poor and abductions too common for Pakistani police to do much more than register the case. So when Shamin Akhter Butt discovered senior officials were working round the clock to free a five-year-old British boy kidnapped nearly two weeks ago, she rushed to his home in the vain hope of attracting attention to her plight.
“Despite our cries and tears these last six months, nothing has happened. Why isn’t the same attention given to my daughter?” asked Butt through tears as she stood on the lawn of the British boy’s family home this month.
Mahnoor disappeared while playing outside on October 6 last year, but unlike Sahil Saeed, whose overjoyed family heard Tuesday he had been released, she has never been seen again.
“This shows the difference between rich and poor. No one even came to my house to console me… Everything is done here for the rich and the British but nothing for Pakistanis and the poor,” she told AFP by telephone on Tuesday.
When Sahil Saeed was kidnapped at the end of a holiday with his grandmother, other people with loved ones missing descended on his home in Jhelum, about 100 kilometres south of the capital Islamabad.
The compound shared by Sahil’s grandmother and uncle was crowded with Jhelum notables, political leaders, journalists from local newspapers and correspondents from some of the world’s most influential news channels.
The parents and families of children missing far longer than Sahil, with none of the diplomatic support or pledges of assistance from the government and police, were left wishing for more.
According to combined statistics from Pakistan’s four provinces, 240 people were kidnapped across the country in the first two months of the year alone - with only 74 of them recovered so far.
Many of the cases are related to family quarrels, love affairs, property disputes or simple quests for money - particularly for the wealthier victims.
In Karachi, Mohammad Masroor, a sales executive with a local firm, said he welcomed Sahil’s release, but was desperately worried about his brother Irfan Ali, 22, who was kidnapped when he went out to run errands.
“Other poor Pakistanis should be helped in the same way as the authorities helped that British family,” Masroor told AFP.
“We searched for him the whole night. I inquired about him from relatives and searched hospitals but didn’t find him. Then we lodged a report with the police about his disappearance,” he said.
The next day, the family received an anonymous call demanding five million rupees (59,500 dollars) for his release.
“That call was a bombshell for the family, for our mother in particular. We were helpless as the amount was far beyond our reach,” he said.
Police apparently believe kidnappers are holding Irfan somewhere in thick forest in northern Sindh province, leaving police “helpless” in accessing what has become a virtual no-go area for law enforcement authorities.
“The whole family is extremely disturbed, but I have put all my savings together and borrowed from relatives to make it one million rupees. I believe Allah will help me in getting my brother released soon.”
In the northwestern city of Peshawar, Tariq Ali’s 15-year-old son was kidnapped last August but he is still without news.
“Our rulers don’t consider the children of Pakistani citizens human beings. They don’t act promptly as they do if a foreigner goes missing,” said Ali, who owns a bakery.
His son Hashim Ali, a student in ninth grade was kidnapped in broad daylight just after leaving home for a nearby playground.
“I’ve submitted applications to every government office ranging from the governor to the inspector general of police but nothing has happened.
“But if a child with another nationality gets kidnapped in Pakistan then they do the maximum and even visit their homes,” Ali said.
“They don’t even ask about locals and Pakistanis who are being kidnapped every day. I have lost zest for life without my son but nobody cares,” said Ali, the wrinkles on his face deepening into furrows.
**May be some …waiting for their share.

Who said police recovered him.
Police said that he was found near Dingah. Perhaps police have not seen him yet.
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum

That was number scoring game only. Same done by police.
That was number scoring game only. Same done by police.
its not a number scoring game.the police has recovered the kid after investigation.
how can u give sweeping statements of this sort without any evidence to back it up that its point scoring game etc etc?
It is reported that the boy was found in farms (Khait) near Dingah. Normal practice here in Pakistan is same. Kidnappers leave the abducted person some where after receiving ransom. And police till tonight said nothing clear however international media is telling stories of payment of ransom . Police has not claimed any effort except finding the child. It is almost clear that they may have gone to pick the child from somewhere.

Family joy at kidnapped boy’s release, but was ransom paid to his captors?
Sahil Saeed's mother promises cuddles and jacket potatoes amid conflicting reports of deal to secure safe return

Jacket potatoes and a huge primary school party await Sahil Saeed, the five-year-old British boy kidnapped for 13 days in [ been held for 13 days, and the way he spoke to me was like nothing happened – it's normal. He's going on and on and on about his toys and his sisters and everything – a normal little boy. When he comes back I am going to give him a big kiss and cuddles and keep him happy. He will definitely be getting a jacket potato."
Of her husband, his wife said: “I have had no contact with him but hopefully he will be bringing back my little boy.” She added that insinuations about possible family involvement in the affair had added to the ordeal, calling the rumours nonsense. “Me and my husband are still together, happily married after seven years. All the speculation has been false. It makes me angry, all the stories.”
There were ecstatic scenes at morning assembly in Sahil’s primary school, Rushcroft. More than 200 children raised the roof with three cheers as headteacher Jane Sheridan told them: “One of our stars was missing, but I told you last week that somewhere he would be shining. Now our star has been found.”](“Pakistan | The Guardian”)
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
In the first ARY exclusive footage after Sahil was found , the local people in the gaoo where sahil was found standing alone, the guys told the entire story of how the boy was found crying and they took him to the nearest school for identification etc etc …
Seconds later some police man was on ARY, I think from Pindi police , he said he didnt have a clue whether ransom was paid or not and he clearly mentioned it that a call was recieved at sahil’s grandparents house informing them of where the kidnappers had left the child.
Now if later Mr Interior Minister decided to take the credit and change the initial stories , what can we say … ..
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
im just glad hes safe. whoever was behind it should be punished. poor child..
Re: 5 year old boy abducted for ransom- Jhelum
so it was in the news this morning that the kidnappers first call was traced to have been from Spain … ransom was paid in Paris … a microchip was fitted in the money paid to the kidnappers and that helped the interpol get one of the kidnappers who is a romanian 
and interpol located the other man back to mandi bahudin in Pakistan 
…
Sahil’s father was actually asked by the british police to come back to the UK … and he has been cooperating all along with the police …
I still think this is a very fishy and a strange story
