Over 200 people, including businessmen, have fallen victim to kidnapping in Sindh within a mere two months, with over 50 being released only upon payment of ransom.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from the Central Police Office, 81 abduction cases have been reported in the Sukkur and Larkana regions, with 59 abductees rescued through ransom or other means. However, 28 cases remain unregistered, highlighting a systemic failure in addressing the menace. Similarly, in Ghotki district, where 26 abductions occurred, only 22 victims have been rescued, with a concerning discrepancy between registered and unregistered cases. Shikarpur and Kashmore have witnessed similar trends, with 18 and 37 abductions respectively, further exacerbated by the lack of effective law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the PPP assuming power, a coherent strategy to combat criminal elements, particularly in rural Sindh, remains elusive as\u00a0 the escalation of kidnapping cases in Kashmore, Shikarpur, Ghotki, and Sukkur persists unabated, casting doubt on the government&#8217;s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its citizens.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color:#212121\">Published in The Express Tribune, March 21<sup>st<\/sup>, 2024.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI: A disturbing surge in street crimes, robberies, and kidnappings reveals a perilous decline in security measures as the deteriorating law and order does not seem to be a priority for the Sindh government.
