"Gen Tariq Majid's son-in-law kidnapped"

[Spring Onion]

LAHORE: The civilian son-in-law of a senior Pakistani general has been kidnapped in the city of Lahore, a senior official said on Friday, heightening concerns about security in a country grappling with floods and militants.

Rana Sanaullah, law minister of Punjab province of which Lahore is the capital, said the motive was unclear for the kidnapping of the son-in-law of General Tariq Majid, chairman of the powerful army's Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee.

Majid has a largely ceremonial function in the army. But the kidnapping of his son-in-law is likely to add to a sense of deteriorating law and order in the country with an unpopular civilian government, devastating floods and a Taliban militant insurgency. Some six to eight men kidnapped Aamir Malik, a leader of a traders' body, on Wednesday night.

"Multiple teams" of police and security agencies were trying to find him, said Sanaullah, who is also responsible for security matters in the province. "The kidnappers have not yet made any contact," Sanaullah said.

What army power has to do with safety of their civilian relatives?

Pakistan army is NOT suppose to deploy Commandos at houses of relatives of its officers.

They live even the officers or maj, Captain, Birg rank live in common rented houses its another matter that they usually rent houses during services in defence colonies so a general security provided to entire colony save them from mishaps.

Jana, Karan is correct;
If someone was kidnapping Gen Majid's SIL; they would have known of or at least estimated the repercussion.

See the news, Gen's Majid's SIL kidnapped; it doesn't say a civilian kidpanned.

I can tell you that the army ( no matter from which country) will never abandon they consider their own!

You forget the killing of Gen Alvi? Regardless, what is more important here at the moment is to wait for additional facts. K&RE is very common in Lahore and Karachi for extortion and ransom, he is the head of a traders guild.

This could be because of business, local politics, ransom, extortion or even terrorism. We will just have to wait for more info.

His son-in-law runs an uptown jewellery shop. The investigation team says that there is every possibility that the kidnappers did not know his relation. This is also backed by the fact that there has been no contact from the kdinappers so far. May be they are mulling over their options now that they have realized who their captive really is.

These are all Indian operatives.
I have been saying this all along, that they are embedded in our society and are involved in most of city crimes and corruption as well.
Rehman Malik is their biggest facilitator.

Now it is up to army to decide how to respond, should they furnish the evidence of foreign meddling to world wide media or still keep quite.

i'm sure, Indians must have been laughing at our good values but this is enough and zardari need to explain his ties with TTP because he is always the biggest beneficiary of TTP acts.

Of course its not supposed to. But kidnapping someone related to any influential person and that too a general in Pakistani army is a big deal. I dont know why this is difficult to understand. I am not commenting on the PA here. Only on the daring of the people who did that.

LAHORE: CIA police and other intelligence agencies have failed to recover the son-in-law of Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) General Tariq Majeed, who was kidnapped by unidentified people on Wednesday evening in Faisal Town police limits.
Senior police investigators told The News that no breakthrough could be made in the kidnapping case. However, a senior police officer, requesting anonymity, said investigation was underway into different aspects. He explained that no call for ransom was received so far and aspects of a monetary dispute and involvement of a militant group were also being considered in the probe to recover Amir Malik, President Anjuman Tajran Barkat Market.
A case No 692/10 has been registered against kidnappers under section 365 of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), on the complaint of Naseem Malik, brother-in-law of Amir Malik, at Faisal Town police station. The complainant told police that victim Amir Malik, the son of Aftab Malik, a resident of 26/L, Model Town EXT, reached his house by a car 932167/LXD at around 8:25 p.m on Wednesday. As the main gate of the house was opened by driver Muhammad Arshad, son of Ramazan, some 12 people in a Honda City (silver color) PUK-8192 and on two motorcycles approached him. They pushed the driver and Amir into the car and sped away. However, the driver was dropped at some unknown location.
Police set up pickets at entry and exit points of the provincial metropolis and launched a search operation, but no clue could be found about the kidnappers. The complainant of the FIR told this scribe on phone the number plate of the Honda City car proved bogus in initial investigation. He confirmed that no breakthrough could be made till the filing of the report on Thursday. Amir Malik started his business of jewelry with his father Aftab Malik in Barkat Market in 1998. Later, he opened his own shop. He became president of Anjuman Tajran Barkat Market in 2007. Traders at Barket Market have different views about him. Some said he had been playing a good role in the welfare of businessmen. However, others were of the view that Amir had monetary disputes with many people.
A trader of Qaumi Tajir Ittehad, requesting anonymity, said that though no solid information about the motive behind the kidnapping had been found so far, there was speculation. He alleged that Amir used to resolve issues of people belonging to different walks of life after receiving money and if a job was not done, he was not in habit of returning the amount. The trader charged that he used the name of his father-in-law to resolve issues.
Another trader of Barkat Market, on condition not to be named, said that Amir Malik had become president of Barket Market Anjuman-e-Tajran by using his ‘contacts’ in the army. He claimed that there could be three motives behind the kidnapping.
First, he could have been abducted over some monetary dispute. Second, militants could have kidnapped him for the release of their accomplices. Thirdly, he could have fabricated the incident to avoid payments to his clients. However, a senior police officer said everything was just speculation till his recovery. “Police and intelligence agencies are using all possible resources to recover him,” he maintained.
