Hindus in Pakistan's Sindh province stage protest over abduction of community members in Kashmore
protest since Friday over the abduction of some members of the minority community by bandits in riverine areas in southern Sindh province's Kashmore, according to a media report on Monday. Dr Chand Mahar, the senior vice president of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) minority wing in Sindh and one of the individuals leading the protest, said the demonstration was being staged at Dera More — an area near the Sindh-Punjab border — since Friday last week, Dawn.com reported.
Three members of the Hindu community — identified as Mukhi Jagdish Kumar, Sagar Kumar and Jaideep Kumar — have been in dacoits' captivity after they were recently intercepted by them, Mahar said.
He added that a Muslim doctor — Munir Naij — had also been held captive for the past 40 days.
Mukhi was a 72-year-old businessman and Jaideep was nine years old, Mahar said, adding that they were kidnapped from Kashmore.
