Police say have started a search operation to recover Hayat baloch.
Son of Pakistan People Party (PPP) MPA Murtaza Baloch was kidnapped from Karachi’s Malir Cantt area late Monday.
Police said Hayat Baloch was abducted from Palm Village as the kidnappers took him along in his vehicle.
"Police have started a search operation for his early recovery," the Karachi Police Media Cell quoted Gadap police station as saying in a statement.
Last year, son of the Sindh High Court (SHC) chief justice was kidnapped from the city's Clifton neighbourhood. He was rescued following an intelligence-based operation (IBO) near Tank (K-P) over a month after.
Karachi has long been plagued by political, ethnic and religious violence, although crime has dropped sharply since the launch of a paramilitary operation in September 2013.
