NEWS PAPER EDITORS ARE REQUESTED TO PUBLISH THE TEXT BELOW AS LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
Dear Brigadier Latif, and Mr Agha Gul,
Thank you for your interest in the sad episode of the kidnapping and recovery of Mrs Nilofar Abadan, the renowned philanthropist.
THAT SHE WAS KEPT IN THE HEART OF QUETTA CITY FOR TEN MONTHS BY BALUCHI SPEAKING KIDNAPERS reflects the shoddy and disgraceful performance of the concerned intelligence agencies and the Balochistan Police. Nilofar Abadan and her late husband Mr Abadan were phillanthropists. He was kidnapped and killed by the same criminal gang. They had contributed millions of rupees for the health care of Baluchi women and children. Her kidnapping and demand for additional eight crores rupees as ransom proves that there is no place for people in Pakistan who want to assist destitutes and do good for Baluchistan and Pakistan, especially when they belong to the minority communities.
India is rich because of the Bombay Parsi community. All the Indian billionaires are Parsi businessmen, who have invested heavily, and that in turn has made India rich. Here we have hounded out the patriotic, intelligent and hard working Parsi community, and the very small numbers that remain are being kidnapped and killed and live in fear. We have disgraced ourselves and our country by failing to provide them safety and security.
As these killing and kidnappings are happening under the very nose of Chief Minister Aslam Raisani and Governor Blauchistan; appeal to them for help will fall on their deaf ears. By now Prime Minister Gilani, President Asef Ali Zardari should have taken notice of these grevious incidents and taken action to apprehend and punish the culprits. Busy as they are, they perhaps are unaware of the prevailing crriminality and gangesterism prevailing in the largest but most neglected and criminalized province. Kindly forward this appeal to them, to the powerful media and the Chief Justice Iftikar Chaudhry, to take notice.
Regards,

Subject: [Pak-Media] An Abducted Lady in Quetta
Mrs Nilofer Abadan, widow of late Mr. Abadan, a business lady from minority community in her 60s who was kidnapped some 10 months ago was thrown on Zarghoon Road, Quetta today at 3.30 am from a running car. She was told that the ransom of 2 crores already paid some 4 months ago was not enough, she must now sell her industry and pay the kidnappers 8 crores more or her family will be killed. I have requested IG Police to try to investigate as the criminals kept her in the heart of the city and apparently it should not be difficult to trace them out.
The following is the brief of things she has reported which may be of use to some one caring to investigate, or just to avoid being abducted as it seems to be the most growing "industry" not only in Quetta but in the country as well:
1. She was going with her driver in a Suzuki car when some 10 men stopped her car, threw the driver out and then drove the car to Al Gailani Road, saying all along, they were from an Agency and she was being taken to a Major for investigation. The car was indeed, found by the Police, left at Al Gailani Road later.
2. She was kept in a house on Al Gailani Road, off Zarghoon Road possibly a km away as she could hear the railway engine's hoot. At all times there were some 20 persons milling around in the house as she could hear their voices when power outages took place.
3. Round the clock they played several radios and TVs to create noise so that her voice could not go out.
4. She was kept shackled, tied and given very little to eat, often no food on a day.
5. All the abductors met her with faces covered, gloves and socks on. They spoke Balochi amongst themselves and were Baloch. Negotiations were done by a thin, lanky-frame, very tall man, who called himself Number 3. He often referred to his "elders" with whom he would discuss and come back to re-negotiate.
6. They searched for a CHIP on her body which they thought would be implanted on her and could divulge her location. To let her talk to her family, they would put her in a SUV and drive out of city. She was only allowed to talk while the vehicle was running.
7. They frequently beat her with sticks but not enough to do major body harm.
8. They would tell her that they had come to know that some effort was being made by Agencies, but non could touch them because the Agencies were in their pay roll and some BIG PEOPLE were taking care of them.
This is the short report that I have compiled for family/friends and those who may also refer it to some investigating agency. Clearly, given the provincial political dynamics nothing worthwhile is however, expected.
