Back in the year 2018, a woman in Karachi claimed that her eight-month-old girl was snatched from her hands by an unknown kidnapper who came wearing a veil in her apartment building. The claim turned out to be false as police soon recovered the “abductee” from a relative’s house, who claimed to have taken custody of girl as a guardian.
The man added that the girl’s mother called him to her apartment on September 12 and willingly gave him the girl’s custody for “better upbringing” without telling her in-laws.
