LAHORE: The son-in-law of General Tariq Majid, chairman of the army's Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee has been kidnapped in Lahore, a senior official said on Friday, heightening concerns about security in a country grappling with floods and militants.
Rana Sanaullah, Punjab Law Minister said the motive behind the General's son-in-law's kidnapping is unclear.
Majid has a large 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 are 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 told Reuters. AGENCIES
