Mohammad Abbas, resident of (F-Block) Punjab Housing Society, was on his way to a nearby market when unidentified gunmen intercepted him a few hundreds meter away from his residence. The gunmen bundled him into a car at gunpoint and took him to some unknown location. Late on Monday night, the kidnappers contacted Abida Bibi, wife of the victim, by phone and demanded Rs five million as ransom. Police sources said that the abductors contacted the victim family by using the cellular phone of the abductee and also threatened them that they would kill Abbas if the family tried to disclose the happening to the police.
