LAHORE: Two sons of a retired senior army officer were kidnapped here on Tuesday — one from his office on Walton Road and the other from outside his home on Sarfaraz Rafiqui Road.

The North Cantonment police registered an FIR against unnamed kidnappers on the complaint of retired Major Gen Chaudhry Ahmad Khan.

Mr Khan said his 34-year-old son Hammad and his family lived on the Sarfaraz Rafi­qui Road. He said that on Tues­day a group of men came to Hammad’s house and knoc­ked at the door pretending to be his friends. Hammad came out to see them but did not return. He said that his younger son Nauman had gone to his Walton Road office and did not return.
