Islamabad: Advisor to Governor Punjab during the rule of President Pervaiz Musharraf, Maulana Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi who was been kidnapped from the capital on his way back from German Embassy on Thursday has been recovered only after five hours of his abduction, local newspaper reported.
Chairman Ulema and Mashaikh Council Pakistan Tahir Ashrif was recovered in unconscious condition and was immediately shifted to local hospital for medical aid. He is now in normal condition, says hospital sources.
According to the police, his kidnappers have also been arrested and shifted to an unknown place. The sources say that after Tahir Ashrafi reached the German Embassy in Islamabad at around 5pm on Thursday, he never returned which created suspicion among officials who then increased the snap checking across the city.
