Today makes it four days since city businessman, Farouk Kalamadeen, disappeared while jogging in the Houston/
Mandela Back Road area and family members say they have not received any calls from anyone indicating where the man might be.
However, a relative told Stabroek News yesterday that the police have been monitoring the situation and had been in contact with family members on a regular basis providing updates on their investigations. The relatives however would not say whether the police had picked up any significant lead as to where Kalamadeen, who is also the proprietor of Jiffy Lubes service centre might be.
On Thursday the businessman’s wife, Nariman Kalamadeen told this newspaper that it was clear he is being held against his will, but for reasons she did not know. The 54-year-old Kalamadeen left his D’ Aguiar Park, East Bank Demerara home about 6 am on Wednesday to go on his daily jog and has not been seen since. He was last seen wearing a blue sweat suit, track boots and a cap. The businessman’s wife said that they have since checked every corner in the Houston, Mandela Back Road area, interviewed almost all the security guards in the block and no one has a clue as to where the former motor racer might be. “He is not on the track where he left to go, the hospitals do not have him, we combed the area thoroughly so then he is being held against his will,” Mrs Kalamadeen asserted on Thursday.
According to her from all appearances her husband might have been snatched as soon as he exited the gated Barrington Place, D’Aguiar Park community, noting that none of the security guards along the route he walks every day is said to have seen him on Wednesday morning. “The guards at Banks DIH, DDL all of them said they normally see him every morning but did not see him on Wednesday,” Mrs Kalamadeen disclosed.
