Law enforcement agencies have recovered Rana Jamil Hasan, a provincial lawmaker of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) who was kidnapped earlier this year.
Rana Jamil Hasan, who was also known as ‘Gudo Khan’, was recovered from the Pak-Afghan border areas and is currently under the safe custody of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) force, said a statement issued by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Sardar Mehtab Ahmed Khan’s office.
Rana Jamil Hassan will soon be shifted safely to his home, said the statement which did not disclose any further details about how the Punjab Assembly lawmaker was found or freed.
Rana Jamil was kidnapped on May 31, 2014 on the motorway near Sheikhupura in Punjab.
The MPA and his wife were going to Islamabad from their hometown Bucheki when people in two cars stopped his vehicle and dragged him out. The kidnappers asked the MPA’s wife to arrange Rs 50 million for his release and took him away.
Rana Jamil was elected from PP-174 in the 2013 general elections.
KP Governor Sardar Mehtab congratulated personnel of the law enforcement agencies for their efforts and directed for Jameel’s safe shifting to Peshawar.
