The Punjab inspector general of police on Wednesday revealed that three key personalities abducted from Lahore were in the custody of one jihadi group, a private TV channel reported. The abductions of Shahbaz Taseer, son of former Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer from Gulberg, US contractor Warren Weinstein from Model Town and ex-CJCSC Gen Tariq Majeed’s son-in-law Amir Malik from Garden Town are all being attributed to a single group. Punjab IGP Javed Iqbal said limited resources were a key hurdle in the recovery of abducted people. He said besides heavy ransom, there were certain demands by kidnappers that were difficult to accept.
