Sham Lal, a resident of Khuzdar, was kidnapped Sunday, the Daily Times reported.

Khuzdar is around 270 km from provincial capital Quetta.

No one has claimed responsibility for the incident.

The Hindu community later closed down their businesses in protest and took out a rally to condemn the kidnapping.
