RANSOM: Two jewellers of Mansehra were kidnapped for ransom from Abbottabad when they were on their way to the Ayub Hospital Complex five days ago, our correspondent adds.
Family members of Shujahat Ali, owner of the National Jewellers in Kashmiri Bazaar, and M. Saleem Saraf are tightlipped about the kidnapping. Sources said the car of Mr Saraf had been recovered by the police near Nawansher in Abbottabad.
The kidnappers, according to the sources, are demanding Rs13 million for the release of Mr Ali and gold for the release of Mr Saraf. It is believed that the people who kidnapped last year Dr Binyamin, a senior medical officer of the Mansehra district headquarters hospital, and released his allegedly after receiving ransom, are involved in the incident.
