SUKKUR, Jan 20 (APP):In a shocking turn of events, Khairpur police on Sunday evening revealed that journalist Fayyaz Solangi staged his own kidnapping, which went viral on social media and TV channels, showing him being tortured by kidnappers.¹
According to SSP Khairpur Touheed Rehman Memon and SSP Kashmore Zubair Nazir Sheikh, Solangi conspired with his uncle to fake the kidnapping due to a land dispute with his cousins. The police arrested Solangi, his uncle, and two others involved in the staged kidnapping.
