An Ahmadi man, abducted in Pakistan by unknown persons five years ago and missing ever since was beheaded by Taliban, it has been discovered.
The grisly details came to light when a terrorist in police custody admitted his involvement in the abduction of Mubarak Ahmad Bajwa, an Ahmadi elder and a rancher from Chak 312-JB, Kathowali in the Punjab province.
Bajwa was kidnapped from his farmhouse in October 2009 along with a farm hand, a young boy of about 14 years of age. The youth was later released with instructions for Bajwa's ransom.
One of the suspect, disclosed only by his first name, Wajid, from Taliban's Afzal Fauji group in Gujrat, told police they had abducted Bajwa for ransom and kept him in chains in the basement of a mosque in Kotli until they had killed him.
The suspect claimed victim was abducted after his partner, a Christian convert to Islam, had verified that Bajwa, being an Ahmadi was 'a blasphemer of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw).'
Formerly known as Piyara Masih, convert Ahmad Baba and his family were farm hands at Bajwa's ranch. Masih, after he converted to Islam, was recruited by Taliban and received terrorist training in North Waziristan, according to a Pakistani English newspaper report.
According to the area police, Taliban had demanded a Rs20 million ransom for Bajwa's release but later beheaded him when they failed to get ransom.
The Ahmadiyya worldwide leader, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Mansoor Ahmad memorialized the victim's obituary in his Friday sermon of December 19th.
Hazrat Ahmad said one of the suspect who narrated the account of the grisly murder told investigators that after they slit Bajwa's throat, they mutilated his body into pieces and dumped it in a shallow grave in a ravine.
According to the police, the suspect told they have standing orders from their commander to kill Ahmadis for being 'blasphemer of the Holy Prophet.'
The exact date of the victim's murder is not yet clear. Mr Bajwa was born in 1953 and leaves behind his widow and four sons; two brothers and a sister.
Hazrat Ahmad prayed for the victim, his family and for the victims and families of the recent schoolchildren massacre in Peshawar, Pakistan.
