MANDI BAHAUDDIN, Jan 22: The Pakistan Medical Association office-barer who was kidnapped along with his driver two days ago was released by the abductors, reportedly after receiving Rs3 million as ransom.
The kidnappers had initially demanded Rs10 million as ransom from the family of child specialist Dr Akhtar Javed Tabassum, also district senior vice-president of the PMA.
