Pakistani police officials have claimed that the five-year old British child, Sahil Saeed, who was kidnapped from his grandmother's house in Punjab's Jhelum district two weeks ago, has been safely recovered.

Sahil's grandfather, Raja Basharat, also confirmed his recovery, saying that he has been handed over to the Jhelum town administration.

"He is recovered and safe," said Basharat.

Basharat also denied any ransom being paid by the family members for Sahil's release, The News reports.

Meanwhile, the British High Commission has also confirmed Sahil's recovery, who was abandoned by his kidnappers near a school in Danga village.

Sahil was abducted from his grandmother's house in Jhelum on March 3, as he was about to leave along with his father to catch a flight back to London.

The kidnappers had demanded 100,000 pounds as ransom.

It is believed that some family members were involved in kidnapping, but the truth is yet to be revealed. (ANI)
