LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court on Wednesday adjourned the hearing of Shahbaz Taseer kidnapping case till May 29.

Previously, police had informed the court that Shahbaz Taseer had not recorded his statement. However, the statement of Shahbaz Taseer is still pending due to which the court again adjourned the hearing till May 29. The court had consigned the case to record in 2014. Later, it was reopened while allowing an application filed by one of the alleged accused, Usman.

Shahbaz Taseer, son of slain former Punjab governor Salman Taseer, was recovered in March 2016, nearly five years after his abduction in 2011 from Lahore. Police had registered a case against accused Abdur Rehman, Farhad, Moazzam and Usman.
