The son of slain former Punjab governor Salman Taseer, Shahbaz Taseer, reached Lahore airport via Quetta through a special plane.
Shahbaz’s family welcomed him at the Lahore airport.
Earlier, Shahbaz was recovered by security and intelligence forces from Balochistan’s Kuchlak area on Tuesday, nearly five years after his abduction in 2011.
“Intelligence agencies have recovered Shahbaz Taseer from an area near Kuchlak, Balochistan,” said a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The military shared photos of Shahbaz with a short statement that he is “hale and hearty”.
