A friend who had gone out with his wife & kid for dinner last night was kidnapped. Four guys took him & left his family on the road. Late at night they called for ransom asking for PKR 2.5 Million ($30,000 USD).
Police was notified and deal was struck with the kidnappers. We went to the designated place (a remote gas station on the city's outskirts) with the ransom. Friends brother went in with the ransom and we stayed behind. Before the exchange was about to take place the kidnappers felt something fishy and took off. We along with the police had blocked all routes and their car was rammed and it climb a mud hill. The friend jumped out of the car but was shot by the abducters. As soon as our friend jumped out of the car the police asked his name and he shouted it and they took him to safety. The kidnappers shot back at the police but the police answered back with 400+ rounds of 7.62x25, 9mm, 7.62x39 & 7.62x51 automatic fire.
Two died on spot and one managed to run away as it was dark but was later found dead close by.
Friend was shot twice with 7.62x25mm in his right shoulder and in the leg. He's undergoing surgery right now but he is safe.
When he was abducted he was carrying a handgun but didnt use it as there were four of them and he feared for his wife & child.
Will upload pictures etc tomorrow. The car with in excess of 400 .30 calibre rounds is a sight!
