Twenty-seven-year-old Anisha Hosein, the daughter of the owner of Sauce Doubles, was kidnapped in El Dorado yesterday morning.
Her family remained in a state of shock and trauma as up to today, she had not been found.
The reports indicate that at 5.35 a.m. yesterday, Hosein was with her husband setting up the doubles outlet at Eastern Main Road, El Dorado when a white Nissan B15 with four occupants pulled up next to them, and grabbed Hosein.
Her husband Rajiv Singh was shot in the left side of the face as he attempted to keep the kidnappers from taking his wife.
The three suspects forced Hosein into the vehicle and they drove off, heading west. Onlookers in the area who saw the incident notified the police and paramedics.
Hosein’s husband was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope, where he was treated and discharged.
A team of officers from the North Central Division, led by Snr Sup Richard Smith, responded.
A cctv video which has gone viral on social media, captured by nearby security cameras shows two armed men running into the business place while a third kept watch, following which gunshots were heard, and then two men were seen dragging Hosein-Singh into the waiting vehicle.
Hosein’s family is pleading with kidnappers for her safe return. Sauce doubles outlets has been the target of many shootings over the past few months. Officers from the Anti-Kidnapping Unit were notified and are investigating.
