Afghan police have successfully rescued a kidnapped man and arrested three alleged kidnappers in northern Afghanistan's Takhar province, according to a statement released Friday by the Ministry of Interior Affairs.



The alleged kidnappers abducted a man in Takhar's neighboring Kunduz province and demanded a ransom of 50,000 U.S. dollars for his release, the statement said, adding that police traced the victim to the Darqad district of Takhar and conducted an operation that led to his safe rescue.



The arrested kidnappers were handed over to judicial authorities for further investigation, said the ministry, but it did not disclose the identity of the victim or provide additional details about the operation.
