A British boy who was kidnapped in Pakistan earlier this month has been released, a relative said today.
"He is safe," said Raja Basharat, the boy's grand-uncle.
Police in Jhelum, the town where Sahil Saeed was kidnapped, had said the gunmen who abducted him after holding relatives at gunpoint for several hours took away 150,000 rupees ($1,750) and some gold and later demanded a 10 million rupee (US$118,000) ransom.
The circumstances around his release were not clear.
"It is fantastic news which brings an end to the traumatic ordeal faced by Sahil and his family," the British High Commissioner in Islamabad said in a statement.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik had said he suspected relatives were involved in the kidnapping.
