20 Abducted Police Recruits Rescued Safely in Kalat District

QUETTA: Twenty police recruits from the Kalat Police Training Centre, who were abducted by unidentified men on Friday, have been safely recovered, officials confirmed. The recruits were kidnapped while traveling in a private van from Kalat to Noshki when armed men intercepted them on the Quetta-Karachi Highway.

A senior police officer stated, “All personnel are safe and sound,” providing reassurance to their families and the community. The recruits were reportedly on their way home for the weekend when the incident occurred, raising concerns about security in the region.

This incident highlights ongoing security challenges in Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan, where abductions and attacks on law enforcement personnel have been a persistent issue. The safe recovery of the recruits is a relief, but it underscores the need for enhanced security measures to protect citizens and law enforcement officials alike.

Authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation into the abduction, aiming to identify the perpetrators and prevent future incidents. The police have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities in the area.
