Sources disclosed that the workers were abducted as part of an extortion scheme. During the incident, the terrorists also torched a vehicle owned by a local contractor.
Authorities emphasized that these brutal actions by the terrorists have no ties to religion or Islamic principles and are a blatant assault on Pakistan and its people.

“The perpetrators of this despicable act will be held accountable,” security officials assured. The ongoing operation underscores the state’s resolve to combat such threats and protect its citizens.
