LAHORE: The mystery of Shahbaz Taseer's kidnapping still remains unresolved as the police have failed to find and rescue the son of former Punjab governor Salman Taseer.

Taseer was kidnapped in Gulberg area of Lahore a week ago. The police launched raids and search operations to find him but without any success. The police also arrested two suspects but both of them were released later.

The Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif ordered the CCPO Lahore to find Taseer. The CCPO has vowed to look into the matter himself but without any success.

The kidnappers have still not contacted his relatives nor have they made any demands. According to police sources the matter is in slow progress due to Eid holidays of the police staff.
