A police official said, “The Punjab Safe Cities Authority helped police detect the registration number of the motorcycle which prime suspect Amir used to transport Umair to Sheikhupura. He committed the crime with the help of his accomplice Usman”.

The CCTVs detected several locations of the abductors when they were taking the boy to Sheikhupura through Shahdara, said the official.

He told the news network, “Amir and his accomplice had kidnapped Umair on Sept 9 when he, along with his brother, was playing in the street at Chaudhry Colony in Ghaziabad area”.
