Two persons, who were detained in connection with the kidnapping of a five-year-old British boy in Pakistan, have reportedly been freed by the Paris police.

Confirming the report, a police official, who refused to be named, said a father and son were related to two more people who collected the ransom paid for Sahil Saeed in Paris, but the duo were found to have not been involved in the case directly.

Three other suspects, including those who collected the ransom, were arrested in Spain hours after Sahil was found abandoned few miles away from his grandmother's house in Pakistan's Punjab province's Jhelum region earlier this week.

Meanwhile, Sahil, has returned to his family home in Oldham, Greater Manchester aling with his father. (ANI)
