A heavy contingent of law-enforcement agencies and a special investigations team have cordoned off the area.
So far no group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
“The special investigation team has gathered initial evidence from the site, and finger prints have been collected from the Maulana’s vehicle,” SSP Naseebullah said.
Three years ago, Maulana Abu Turab’s brother Habibullah Mujahid had also been abducted by unidentified men.
