ISLAMABAD: A BBC correspondent who went missing on Monday was released by his kidnappers on Tuesday.

Dilawar Khan told Daily Times that he was kidnapped by some unidentified men near the police lines in H-11 Sector.

“I was waiting for a cab when a car stopped near me. Some men got out and shoved me into the car after blindfolding and beating me,” he said, adding that he was taken to an unidentified location, and was asked questions about his profession. He said the kidnappers released him after warning him not to tell anybody about the incident. staff report

In other words they kidnapped him and beat him - but they let him go the second they realized he was on their side.
