The footage which was acquired by ARY News showed that the girl was walking beside the road, reportedly with her four-year-old brother, when the alleged abductor came closer to the children and gripped the hand of Hiba Jannat and vanished from the location.

However, the alleged kidnapper left her brother and took away the girl with him.
