**Four police officers in Pakistan have been sacked over their handling of the kidnap of 5-year-old British boy.**Sahil Saeed, from Oldham, was snatched by armed robbers on Wednesday while visiting relatives with his father.
But the police did not initially respond to the family’s emergency call to “Rescue 15”, the Pakistani equivalent of 999.
Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik said the incident was “humiliating” after visiting the family.
Sahil was taken from his grandmother’s home in the Punjab city of Jhelum as he prepared to take a taxi to the airport for his return flight to the UK.
The attackers are said to have demanded a £100,000 ransom for his return.
‘Pray for him’
On Saturday, Sahil’s mother Akila Naqqas leaded for his safe return, saying she would forgive his son’s captors if they released him.
She also said Sahil had never been apart from either herself or her husband.
“It’s just a nightmare. I’m not sleeping at all,” she said. "It’s worse at night when I have no-one to comfort me.
“All we can do is just pray for him.”
Local police have said they believe the kidnappers were tipped off by someone close to the family.
It is understood several men, including a taxi driver, have been arrested in Pakistan.
