LAHORE:-
Shahbaz Taseer, the son of slain Punjab governor Salman Taseer, was kidnapped in Lahore on Friday, police and the family said.
Four men on motorbikes intercepted Shahbaz Taseer in his car in the upscale Gulberg area and took him to a nearby street before whisking him away, police said, quoting witnesses.
“Shabhaz was out with a friend when four unidentified people kidnapped him,” his brother Shehryar Taseer told Reuters.
“Our family has been receiving threats from the Taliban and extremist groups,” he said, adding they could be behind the abduction.
No one has yet claimed responsibility.
The governor, Salman Taseer, was killed by his own bodyguard early this year after he came out in support of Aasia Bibi, a woman accused of committing blasphemy
