LAHORE: Misfortune struck the Taseer family a second time this year. Shahbaz Taseer, eldest son of slain former governor Punjab Salmaan Taseer and his wife Amna, was abducted in broad daylight from Lahore’s Gulberg area on Friday morning.
In the second high-profile case within a fortnight in Lahore, Taseer was abducted on the way to his office by at least three armed men.
The kidnapping brought the Punjab government, particularly its security apparatus, under sharp scrutiny – ironically, at a time when the provincial chief minister was in Karachi lecturing his Sindh counterparts on the worsening law and order situation in the port city.
Earlier on August 13, armed men abducted American aid expert Warren Weinstein from his residence in Model Town. No progress on the case has been reported yet.
