In the latest wave of attacks, two Hindu traders in Pakistan's Rahim Yar Khan have been kidnapped by gangsters demanding the release of their imprisoned associates. The abductions have intensified fears among the business community about their safety.
The two businessmen, identified as Shameer Jee and Dheema Jee, were taken by criminals from the riverine area, police reported. The ringleader, Kabul Sukhan, known for a bounty of PKR 10 million, is said to be the mastermind behind this and other kidnappings.
