QUETTA: Two Chinese nationals working in Pakistan were abducted from Quetta’s Jinnah Town on Wednesday.
According to police, unidentified abductors forced the two foreigners into a vehicle at gunpoint and drove away. A passerby was reportedly injured after one of the abductors opened fire.
“A Chinese couple has been kidnapped and their personal guard was injured during the incident,” Anwar ul Haq Kakar, Balochistan’s spokesperson, said.
According to witnesses, the unidentified men tried to abduct three of the foreigners, two women and one man. However, one of them managed to escape.
Police have cordoned off the area and begun the search operation to arrest the kidnappers.
Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Sanaullah Zehri has asked for an immediate inquiry into the abduction. Zehri directed the Balochistan IGP to take immediate steps for an early recovery of the missing Chinese workers.
