PNP tracks down Indian businessman snatched in Maguindanao

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 14): PNP tracks down Indian businessman snatched in Maguindanao
 
Cops are hot on the trail of an armed group who stormed on Wednesday night a mothballed plywood factory in Barangay Sarmiento, Parang, Maguindanao, and snatched an Indian executive involved in the buy-and-sell of old machines at the plant.

P03 Ariga Andag, Parang police sub-station commander, identified the abducted businessperson as Kristian Singh Aurora, 54, who was seized at his staff house inside the decrepit Eversun plywood plant situated near the Polloc port area.

Initial investigation revealed that 10 armed men entered the 106-hectare Eversun compound around 8:45 p.m. and took the businessman at gunpoint.

“The trader and his two private bodyguards together with three staff house workers were all taken by surprise. The abductors then tied them all up before fleeing with Aurora in tow,” Andag said.

He noted that one of the caretakers managed to free himself from the ropes some 30 minutes later and called for help.

Andag said that they still trying to determine if the armed band exited the compound “by sea” using the proximate Moro Gulf.

The Eversun firm, once owned by the Hong Kong-based K.C. Chong Company, ceased operation in the mid-90s due to financial constraints.
