JACOBABAD, Oct 21: Two men were reportedly kidnapped from the Quetta coach stand in the limits of City police station on Monday but police insisted they had been kidnapped in the limits of Dera Allahyar, Balochistan.

Reports said that Dileep Kumar, 26, and Sanjay Kumar, 25, were having cold drinks in their car at the coach stand at 7pm when some unidentified armed men forced into their vehicle at gunpoint and compelled them to drive away from the coach stand.

They left the car near a rice mill on the Quetta road after covering some distance and took the hostages away in another vehicle already parked there.

Dileep Kumar informed his father Darshan Lal on mobile phone after three hours that they had been kidnapped and their car was parked near the rice mill. The family informed police who found later recovered the car.

SPO City Irshad Ahmed Shahani said on Tuesday that no FIR had been lodged and claimed that the kidnapping incident had occurred in the limits of Balochistan.

DPO Ismail Memon also reiterated that they had been kidnapped from Dera Allahyar not from Jacobabad. How could the kidnappers take them away from the coach stand, which was a busy area where many people were present, he argued.

Dileep Kumar’s father Darshan Lal said that Dileep and Sanjay left him and his father Samano Mal at a temple and took the car to the coach stand because Sanjay, who was a resident of Dera Allahyar and wanted to go home.

He insisted that they were kidnapped from Quetta road in Jacobabad.
