The missing owner of Cola Next, Zulfiqar Ahmed, has safely reached his Lahore residence, confirmed his family on Sunday.
Ahmed, who is also the managing director of Paracha Textile Mills and Mezan Group, went missing after his white Toyota Surf vehicle was intercepted by eight armed men who abducted him and a friend, later releasing the friend.
Ahmed’s friend recounted the incident, prompting the businessman’s family and company management to submit an application at the Kalri police station the same day.
However, the police initially refused to register a complaint, leading the family to approach the Sindh High Court, which ordered the police to lodge the case on Friday. Karachi Police Chief Javed Alam Odho stated that two “high-powered” teams were investigating the case.
It is worth mentioning that Cola Next, which has positioned itself as an alternative to Coca-Cola since October amid a push to boycott products allegedly supporting Israel’s war on Gaza, saw its CEO abducted on July 23 after leaving his office in the city.
