Authorities in Trinidad and Tobago are intensifying efforts to locate 63-year-old Vishnu Lalla, who was reported kidnapped on the evening of November 8. Lalla, a resident of Dairy Lane, Windsor Park in Couva, was allegedly abducted while tending to his animals near his home. Police from the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, alongside officers from the Central Division and other units, have been mobilized in the search. The situation took a grim turn when Lalla’s van was discovered burnt along a dirt road off George Street in Esperanza Village, Couva, hours after his disappearance. A ransom demand of $100,000 has reportedly been issued for his safe return. As of November 9, Lalla’s whereabouts remain unknown. The NGO Hunters Search and Rescue Team, led by Vallence Rambharat, has also joined the search operation. Both the police and the NGO are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist the authorities in their efforts to locate the missing man.
