The in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the kid­nap­ping of An­isha Ho­sein-Singh con­tin­ued yes­ter­day with of­fi­cials close to it in­di­cat­ing, “It re­al­ly is at a sen­si­tive stage.”

The up­date from of­fi­cers around 4.30 pm, came al­most 36 hours af­ter the moth­er of one was snatched by armed men on Sat­ur­day morn­ing in El Do­ra­do. She re­mained miss­ing de­spite ex­ten­sive and in­tense search­es be­ing car­ried out by the po­lice across sev­er­al parts of the coun­try from Sat­ur­day through yes­ter­day.

Ho­sein-Singh, 27, of St Joseph – was grabbed by armed men around 5.50 am on May 18, as she and her hus­band Richie Singh and oth­er work­ers were set­ting up their dou­bles stand along the East­ern Main Road, to be­gin sell­ing.

Ho­sein-Singh is the daugh­ter of Ahamad Ho­sein who owns and op­er­ates the Sauce and Sons dou­bles out­lets. Guardian Me­dia con­firmed the An­ti Kid­nap­ping Unit (AKU) was spear­head­ing the in­ves­ti­ga­tion, and was be­ing as­sist­ed by var­i­ous arms of law en­force­ment.

The sil­ver B15 car in which Ho­sein-Singh was bun­dled in­to, was found hours lat­er aban­doned at Llu­en­go Vil­lage, Mara­cas Val­ley, St Joseph, around mid­day on Sat­ur­day. It was tak­en to the Tu­na­puna Po­lice Sta­tion where it re­mained yes­ter­day.

Se­nior po­lice of­fi­cials said con­trary to re­ports that they had not been in con­tact with Ho­sein-Singh’s fam­i­ly fol­low­ing the kid­nap­ping, they said of­fi­cers had sprung in­to ac­tion min­utes af­ter the in­ci­dent as they pur­sued every lead in the on­go­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tion as well as the search for the miss­ing woman.

They said cer­tain mea­sures had been em­ployed as they did not wish to jeop­ar­dise and/or com­pro­mise the in­ves­ti­ga­tion de­spite what was be­ing said in the pub­lic do­main. (An­na-Lisa Paul)
