LAHORE, April 16: Police have so far failed to find any clue to a professor doctor of Services Hospital who was kidnapped reportedly by unidentified people in Naseerabad on Monday.

Prof Dr Tayyab was on his way back to his Defence residence from his clinic in Gulberg when some unidentified people had intercepted his car near Zero Point, Gulberg, and kidnapped him.

A police official told Dawn that the accused had sent a recorded message in Mr Tayyab’s voice to his wife on cell phone that they had taken away him after leaving the car.

DIG (investigation) Chaudhry Tassaduq Hussain claimed that the kidnappers neither had contacted the family nor put any demand of ransom.
