The Indian Express reports: An Afghan Hindu businessman was allegedly abducted at gunpoint while he was on the way to his shop in Kabul on Tuesday.

Bansari Lal Arendeh, in his fifties, belonged to Khost province of Afghanistan and established his pharmaceutical business in Karte Parwan of Kabul. He and his family had taken Indian citizenship, but used to visit Kabul frequently for his business.

His wife and children are in Delhi.

On Tuesday, he was allegedly abducted on the way to his shop near Hotel Parwain Khair in Kabul.

Ashok Kumar Arendeh, his elder brother, who is also in Kabul, said it was unlikely that his brother was abducted by the Taliban.

The Taliban are also trying to locate him and have offered us full support. Maybe it is the handiwork of robbers. He was on the way to his shop as usual when a vehicle started following him. He was taken away in a vehicle at gunpoint. Till now we have no clue about his abductors, said Ashok.
