A twenty-five-year-old bus driver of Lot 43 Walton Hall, Region Two says he was abducted on Monday evening by three persons and severely beaten.
He told Stabroek News yesterday that the incident occurred around 7.30 pm at the road leading to the Essequibo Technical Institute (ETI), Anna Regina.
Imran Khan aka Panko said he was dragged from his parents’ residence by two known men and was placed into a car trunk and then taken to the ETI road where he was beaten. The men were unmasked and were armed with a belt, a handgun, a cutlass and zip ties. A father and his son have been taken into custody and the police have also found a white Spacio that was used to commit the crime. A cutlass and a belt were also found in the vehicle.
According to the mother of the bus driver, Bhagpattie Khan, her son had just came home from Georgetown and was in the kitchen relaxing when two men approached their house and dragged him outside on the public road.
The woman became terrified when she saw the men throwing her son into their vehicle’s trunk and “zip tieing” his hands. She said she then raised an alarm but by then the men had driven off with her son.
“If yuh see how they drag meh son and in front my eyes them tieing he hands up, they keep telling me it was the last time I would see my son” the emotional mother related.
She said that her other son, Imtiaz Ibrahim tried to follow the vehicles but he did not find them. He then made a report to the Anna Regina Police Station.
Khan said that the men took him to the ETI road where they started to cuff him and beat him with a cutlass.
A passing resident heard the commotion and immediately went to make a report to the Anna Regina Police station. He also assisted the injured bus driver. The injured bus driver was then taken to the Suddie Public Hospital where he received medical attention and was sent away.
