BACKGROUND
A Pakistani named Khalil-ur-Rehaman Uppal committed a scam by signing a business Agreement with Jennifer Chim's Pak-Erico Corporation in 2004.
After Uppal cashed Pak-Erico UD$20,000 by checks and detained Pak-Erico's products at the value of US$50,000, Jennifer Chim on behalf of Pak-Erico let a Pakistani law firm make a legal suit in Islamabad Civil Court against Uppal's "Non-Fulfillment of the Agreement".
The Pakistan High Courts and Islamabad Civil Court have confirmed Uppals violated the Agreement or made fraudulent behaviors against Pak-Erico. Click for Detail
Islamabad Civil Court filed the case and sent officials to seal the Pak-Erico products which were detained in Uppal's place.
After one month, the Defendant Khalil Uppal with his two sons took armed police from Gujranwala to abduct Jennifer Chim by force and threw her into Uppal's private mini-van.
No reason was given; no languages she understood were used; no lawyer contact was allowed and furthermore, no fate of her whereabouts was disclosed.
