Prominent Pakistani filmmaker and distributor, Satish Anand, has been kidnapped in Karachi, Pakistan.
Anand, 57, a member of Muslim-majority Pakistan's small Hindu community, runs a production house called Eveready Pictures, and is a relative of the Indian actress Juhi Chawla.
City police chief, Waseem Ahmed, said Anand was abducted on Monday (October 20) while on his way home in Karachi's posh Clifton neighbourhood. Police have no idea on who has kidnapped him or why.
"We are investigating from various angles. There has been no call for ransom or any other demands," said Ahmed. Crime, including kidnapping, has long been a problem in Karachi, Pakistan's commercial capital.
Anand's driver told the police two men stopped their car and one of them gave him an injection and he lost consciousness. The driver said that when he awoke, Anand was missing.
Anand is a well-known figure in Pakistan's show business and recently distributed the hit Indian film Race.
