QUETTA: Kidnappers released Judicial Magistrate Ziarat Jam Saka on Friday evening, a senior administration official said.
Akbar Hussain Durrani, the Home Secretary Balochistan said the kidnappers freed Dashti near Ziarat Cross after three days.
He said the kidnapped law officer spent three days in captivity and was finally set free by his captors.
“The judicial magistrate is safe and sound. He has been shifted to Quetta,” Durrani said.
The motive behind the kidnapping is yet to be confirmed. However, the officials were reluctant to comment over the method adopted for the release of judicial magistrate by his captors.
Armed militants had kidnapped Jam Saka Dashti near Ziarat-Pishin cross when he was coming to Quetta from the tourist town of Balochistan.
The kidnappers had freed the driver and security guard of Jam Saka near Syed Hameed Cross area of Killa Abdullah district.
Despite tall claims on the part of the government, law enforcers are yet to burst the gangs involved in acts of kidnapping.
In the past, the militants had kidnapped aid workers from Pishin district and they were set free after payment of ransom to the kidnappers.
