Shahbaz Taseer, son of murdered Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer who was safely recovered after being held by kidnappers for over four years, departed for Lahore earlier today to unite with his family.

Balochistan Inspector General Ahsan Mehboob said Tuesday that Shahbaz was recovered from a hotel on the outskirts of Kuchlak town.
“Security personnel found a man with overgrown beard and long hair, who identified himself as Shahbaz, son of Salmaan Taseer,” a senior security official, who was part of the team that recovered the missing Taseer.
