Unidentified individuals have abducted two men from the jurisdiction of the Domel Police Station in Bannu, according to local sources. The victims were reportedly on a hunting trip in the Speena Tangi area with their friends when they were kidnapped.
The abductees have been identified as Nauman-ul-Hasan, Secretary of Village Council Ghoriwala-2, and Ashfaq, a Class-IV employee of the Rural Health Centre (RHC) Ghoriwala. Two of their companions managed to escape the kidnappers and alert authorities.
Police have registered a case and launched a search operation to trace the abductors.

In a separate incident, a polio officer, Jan Muhammad Wazir, was also abducted by unidentified assailants in the Birmil tehsil of Lower South Waziristan.
The motives behind both abductions remain unclear, as no group has claimed responsibility, nor has there been any demand for ransom at the time of filing this report.
Families of the abductees have appealed to the government and concerned authorities for the safe and swift recovery of their loved ones, urging that the perpetrators be brought to justice and the rule of law upheld.
