Abadan Faridoon Abadan (1946 – ?) is a former Provincial Minister of Balochistan and the ex-owner of Quetta Distilleries.[1] He has been missing since 2002.[2]
Politics
A Zoroastrian by faith, Abadan won two consecutive elections to the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan in 1985 and 1988 from a seat reserved for non-Muslim minorities;[3] he served as a Minister in the government.[4] His wife, Nilofer, stood in the 1990 elections from the same seat but lost to Sanat Singh, a Sikh; in the next election, Abadan contested himself but lost to Singh.[5][3] Nevertheless, he served as a special assistant to the two chief ministers — Jam Ghulam Qadir Khan and Zulfiqar Ali Khan Magsi — during these years.[6]
Kidnapping
On 17 February 2002, Abadan left his house to have dinner at a friend's place but never returned; he was believed to have been kidnapped, and his fate remains unknown.[7][8] A decade later, in March 2011, his wife was abducted but returned after ten months on payment of 30 million PKR as ransom.[8][2] The family has since shifted to Karachi.[8][2]
