Kidnapping of Shahbaz Taseer
Shahbaz Taseer is a Pakistani businessman, and the son of the former Governor of Punjab (Pakistan) Salman Taseer.[1] In August 2011, following his father's assassination,[2] he was kidnapped by militants in Lahore while he was driving to his office from home.[3] Taseer was held in captivity for around four and a half years and was recovered from Kuchlak, Balochistan on 8 March 2016.[4] Taseer's kidnapping was referred as one of the most high profile kidnapping in Pakistan by The Guardian.[5] BBC's HARDtalk interviewed Taseer about his days in captivity.[6]
