Intel agencies and LEA's recovered Shabaz Taseer, the son of ex governor Punjab Salman Taseer from a house in Kuchlak, Baluchistan.
He was kidnapped five years ago from Gulberg, Lahore.
Perhaps released after paying ransom.

Shahbaz Taseer, son of slain governor Punjab Salman Taseer has been released with concerted efforts of law enforcers in Balochistan.
According to Express News, he was recovered from the Kuchlak area of the province.
Military’s media wing ISPR, and an Frontier Corps (FC) officer confirmed the development.
“An intelligence-based operation (IBO) was conducted by FC and police, resulting in his safe recovery,” said the FC spokesperson.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar has also confirmed the recovery during a Senate session.
Shahbaz Taseer abducted from Lahore
He was abducted from the Gulberg area of Lahore on August 26, 2011.
Shahbaz left his house from Cavalry Ground in his silver Mercedes Kompressor (LZT-1) for his office around 10:15am. His car was intercepted by a black SUV and motorbike around 600 yards from the office and up to three men dragged Taseer out of the car and took him away.

Background
Eldest son of former governor, Shahbaz is a director in several companies his father founded, including Pace Pakistan Ltd, First Capital Equities Ltd, Media Times Ltd. and First Capital Securities Corp Ltd.
Salmaan Taseer was shot dead on January 4 this year by his security guard.
A vocal critic of the blasphemy law, Salmaan Taseer showed his overwhelming support for Aasia Bibi, the woman charged with making disrespectful remarks against the Holy Prophet (pbuh), and condemned the controversial law on several occasions.
Last week, Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed killer of the late governor, was executed at Adiala Jail, Punjab.

QUETTA: The abducted son of slain former Punjab governor Salman Taseer, Shahbaz Taseer, has been recovered by security and intelligence forces from Balochistan's Kuchlak area on Tuesday.
Intelligence agencies have recovered Shahbaz Taseer from an area near Kuchlak, Balochistan, said a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Shahbaz Taseer was kidnapped from Lahore on Aug 26, 2011, near his company’s head office in Gulberg area. He was driving towards the offices of the First Capital Group off M.M. Alam Road in Gulberg when he was intercepted by the kidnappers.
No details on the whereabouts of Shahbaz Taseer had earlier been made public. However, there were speculations that Taseer was held captive by a group that was negotiating the release of Salman Taseer’s killer Mumtaz Qadri and other prisoners.
There were also unverified reports of Shahbaz being killed in a drone strike in Waziristan.
The development comes just a week after Salman Taseer’s assassin was executed at Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail.
The abductors who, according to witnesses, used a Prado jeep and a motorcycle, bundled the young Taseer into the four-wheeler and rushed away unimpeded.

My suspicions tell me he was recovered prior to Qadris hanging, since hanging Qadri whilst shahbaz was still kidnapped would have endangered shahbaz's life. Once released from captivity, the blackmailers had no cards left to play with regards to Qadris hanging.
Either way very well done to the authorities for the safe recovery of shahbaz taseer

QUETTA: The son of slain former Punjab governor Salman Taseer, Shahbaz Taseer, was recovered by security and intelligence forces from Balochistan’s Kuchlak area on Tuesday, nearly five years after his abduction in 2011.
“Intelligence agencies have recovered Shahbaz Taseer from an area near Kuchlak, Balochistan,” said a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
He has now been shifted from Kuchlak to Quetta and is reportedly in stable condition, a security official told Dawn.com. Doctors were also called to conduct a medical checkup, he added.

In another high-profile kidnapping, son of former premier Yousaf Raza Gilani, Ali Haider Gilani was abducted from Multan on May 9, 2013, outside a Pakistan People’s Party office in the run-up to the 2013 general elections.
He was leaving a PPP street corner meeting outside the house of a local supporter at Matti Tal Road in Farrukh Town when he was kidnapped.

Qadri was not their man. They were vultures trying to feed on others prey.

What Type of ''TALIBAN'' these are who slaughter innocents but left him alive? After so many years?
After Death of Qadri, I was expecting they will deliver his body either in multiple pieces or atleast point out the location of his grave............... for revenge
That's strange for me he is still alive and recovered so easily........................any way, lucky him and his family....... though there is grave risk that his family can be targeted again.
World is indeed an interesting place .....................

Taliban was looking for money and release of Qadri in exchange. But, shitzz happened...Imagine network was strong , they moved Salman from lahore to Baluchistan. hhhhmmmmmmm so suspecting Punjab University JI/Taliaban element was involve in this whole game.
Till the end they were expecting money and had no concern with Qadri's death. So throughout the picture they were continuously negotiating with the LEAs hence the forces traced him out. There was always belief that he was alive. As revealed by Wajahat Saeed Khan.
