Al­though in­ves­ti­ga­tors re­mained tight-lipped re­gard­ing the search for kid­napped busi­ness­man Shashi Anand Ram­per­sad yes­ter­day, ef­forts con­tin­ued up to late last night to lo­cate him.

The own­er of Jits Stock Pile was kid­napped from Pierre Street, Lendore Vil­lage, En­ter­prise, around 1.45 pm on No­vem­ber 21.

The 36-year-old of Lange Park, Ch­agua­nas, was de­liv­er­ing a load of sand for a cus­tomer when he forced in­to sil­ver Ver­sa at gun­point by two masked men.

When Ram­per­sad was snatched, his FU­SO Can­ter truck had been idling in the open yard of a res­i­dent, with the keys in the ig­ni­tion and his cell­phone in­side.

Of­fi­cers of the An­ti-Kid­nap­ping Unit vis­it­ed Jits Trans­port Ser­vice, South­ern Main Road, Ch­agua­nas, on Thurs­day, as part of their in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands sev­er­al peo­ple have been ques­tioned but no one has been de­tained or ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with the kid­nap­ping.
