CHITRAL: The local police have claimed a clue to the kidnapping of an ex-Afghanistan official here on Wednesday.
Akhtar Kohistani was abducted from Drosh, a town in Chitral, and was taken to Nooristan area of Kunar province in Afghanistan, District Police Officer (DPO) Sher Akbar said.
He said clue to the kidnapping had been traced in Nooristan, adjacent to Chitral district as a brother of Mr Kohistani arrived from Afghanistan and confirmed his presence there.
The DPO said that the motive behind the incident could be some monetary dispute and the abductors were Afghan nationals. A senior official of the police had been sent to the border area of Arsoon for further investigation into the incident, he added.
Twelve armed persons had reportedly abducted the former Afghan official from Chitral on last Sunday.--Zahiruddin
