The robbers entered the house late Wednesday night in Jhelum city in Punjab province and terrorized the family for several hours before leaving with the boy, whose father is Pakistani, said George Sherriff, the press attache at the British High Commission in Islamabad.
“The kidnappers held the family at gunpoint overnight and left with household possessions as well as taking the boy with them,” Sherriff said.
British officials have been in touch with the boy's parents.
The boy's father, Raja Naqqash Saeed, told Sky News the kidnappers have demanded 100,000 British pounds ($150,000) for the boy's return.
